Of the 801 students enrolled in Reagan County schools, 63.7% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 7.1% increase over the previous school year.
Reagan County enrolled the 49th 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.
| School | Number of Economically Disadvantaged Students | Total Number of Students |
|---|---|---|
| Reagan County Elementary School | 277 | 424 |
| Reagan County High School | 138 | 226 |
| Reagan County Middle School | 95 | 151 |
