Texas College Preparatory Academies had the highest enrollment among Houston County districts, welcoming 15,238 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, 51.8% of the students were girls, and 48.2% were boys.

The most represented ethnicity among Texas College Preparatory Academies students was white, accounting for 38.7% of the student population.

Among the six districts in Houston County, Crockett ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,190 students, while Grapeland ISD welcomed 632 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Texas College Preparatory Academies generally encompasses schools within Houston County with its main office in Lewisville.

In the previous school year, Texas College Preparatory Academies had the highest number of students among Houston County districts.

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.
