Starr County enrolled 17,526 students in the 2020-2021 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is 1,005 more than the year before.

Starr County was ranked 55th in enrollment 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.
