Throckmorton County schools enrolled 13 students who were identified as being gifted and talented during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is an 8.3% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 320 students enrolled in Throckmorton County schools, 4.1% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.

Throckmorton County enrolled the eighth lowest number of gifted and talented students among Texas counties.

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.
