Bandera County Schools: Bandera High School welcomed most students in 2021-22 school year

Bandera High School had the highest enrollment among Bandera County schools, welcoming 681 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, 52.1% of them were boys, and 47.9% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 63% of the Bandera High School total enrollment.

Among the five schools in Bandera County, Alkek Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 630 students, while Bandera Middle School welcomed 556 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

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

In the previous school year, Bandera High School also had the highest number of students among Bandera 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.
