The only school in Foard County suffered declining enrollment in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 192 students in the halls of Crowell School, 5% lower than the year before.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51% of the students were girls, and 49% were boys.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.

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.
