Aransas County Schools: Rockport-Fulton High School welcomed most students in 2021-22 school year

Rockport-Fulton High School had the highest enrollment among Aransas County schools, welcoming 930 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 52.5% of them were boys, and 47.5% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 53.8% of the Rockport-Fulton High School total enrollment.

Among the four schools in Aransas County, Rockport-Fulton Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 723 students, while Live Oak Learning Center welcomed 713 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Rockport-Fulton High School is a part of Aransas County ISD, which roughly covers schools within Aransas County with its main office in Rockport.

In the previous school year, Rockport-Fulton High School also had the highest number of students among Aransas 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.
