Schleicher County schools enrolled 322 students who identified as economically disadvantaged in the state during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 499 students enrolled in Schleicher County schools, 64.5% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is an 11.8% decrease from the previous school year.

Schleicher County enrolled the 28th lowest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged 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.
