This is a 25.4% decrease from the previous school year.

Of the 185 students enrolled in Stonewall County schools, 47.6% of them are considered to be at risk.

Stonewall County had the 11th lowest number of at-risk students among Texas counties.

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.
