Travis County schools enrolled 15,712 students who were identified as being gifted and talented during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 7.6% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 190,904 students enrolled in Travis County schools, 8.2% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.

Travis County enrolled the seventh highest number of gifted and talented students 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.
