There were 1,437 Hispanic students enrolled in Progreso ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 3.6% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Progreso ISD schools welcomed 1,444 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 99.5% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the district.

Progreso ISD roughly covers schools within Hidalgo County and has a main office in Progreso.

Among the five schools in Progreso ISD schools, Progreso High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 452 students.

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.
