More students enrolled in King County’s only school in 2021-22 school year

The only school in King County had rising enrollment in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 136 students in the halls of Guthrie School, 7.1% higher than the year before.

The enrollment numbers in King County amplified the state's increasing trend, showing a sharper increase in student numbers than the state average.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 55.9% of them were boys, and 44.1% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 93.4% of the Guthrie School's total enrollment.

Guthrie School has a main office in Guthrie and is the only school within King County.

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.
