Crockett Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Houston County schools, welcoming 399 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52.1% of the students were girls, and 47.9% were boys.

The most represented ethnicity among Crockett Elementary School students was Black, accounting for 46.4% of the student population.

Among the 13 schools in Houston County, Crockett High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 361 students, while Grapeland Elementary School welcomed 310 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Crockett Elementary School is a part of Crockett ISD, which roughly covers schools within Houston County with its main office in Crockett.

In the previous school year, Crockett Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Houston 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.

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.
