Round Rock ISD had the highest enrollment among Williamson County districts, welcoming 47,167 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, 51.4% of them were boys, and 48.6% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Round Rock ISD students was white, accounting for 35.5% of the student population.

Among the 18 districts in Williamson County, Leander ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 41,780 students, while Texas College Preparatory Academies welcomed 15,238 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Round Rock ISD generally encompasses schools within Williamson County with its main office in Round Rock.

In the previous school year, Round Rock ISD had the highest number of students among Williamson County districts.

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.
