George West Primary School had the highest enrollment among Live Oak County schools, welcoming 379 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, 50.9% of the students were girls, and 49.1% were boys.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 59.9% of the George West Primary School total enrollment.

Among the six schools in Live Oak County, Three Rivers Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 319 students, while Three Rivers Junior/Senior High School welcomed 289 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

George West Primary School is a part of George West ISD, which roughly covers schools within Live Oak County with its main office in George West.

In the previous school year, George West Primary School also had the highest number of students among Live Oak County schools.

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.

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.
