Munday CISD had the highest enrollment among Knox County districts, welcoming 405 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 53.3% of them were boys, and 46.7% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 52.8% of the Munday CISD total enrollment.

Among the three districts in Knox County, Knox City-O'Brien CISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 228 students, while Benjamin ISD welcomed 133 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Munday CISD generally encompasses schools within Knox County with its main office in Munday.

In the previous school year, Munday CISD had the highest number of students among Knox County districts.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
