Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 50.1% of them were boys, and 49.9% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 89.5% of the Kenedy Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the 11 schools in Karnes County, Karnes City High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 332 students, while Roger E. Sides Elementary School welcomed 300 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
