Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.5% of the students were girls, and 49.5% were boys.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 56.9% of the Central High School total enrollment.

Among the 53 schools in Tom Green County, Texas Leadership of San Angelo ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,299 students, while Glenn Middle School welcomed 1,258 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Central High School is a part of San Angelo ISD, which roughly covers schools within Tom Green County with its main office in San Angelo.

In the previous school year, Central High School also had the highest number of students among Tom Green County schools.

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.

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.
