Of the 188,376 students enrolled in Travis County schools, 49.4% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 0.5% decrease from the previous school year.
Travis County enrolled the seventh highest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged among Texas counties.
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.
