The only school district in King County suffered declining enrollment in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 119 students in the halls of Guthrie CSD schools, 12.5% lower than the year before.

Enrollment in King County fell short of the state’s trend compared to the state’s trend of increasing enrollment.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.4% of them were boys, and 49.6% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 95.0% of the Guthrie CSD total enrollment.

Guthrie CSD has a main office in Guthrie and is the only school district 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.

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.
