Edna ISD had the highest enrollment among Jackson County districts, welcoming 1,559 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 52.6% of them were boys, and 47.4% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Edna ISD students was Hispanic, accounting for 43.7% of the student population.

Among the three districts in Jackson County, Industrial ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,158 students, while Ganado ISD welcomed 738 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Edna ISD generally encompasses schools within Jackson County with its main office in Edna.

In the previous school year, Edna ISD had the highest number of students among Jackson County districts.

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.

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.
