Lubbock ISD had the highest enrollment among Lubbock County districts, welcoming 25,659 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, 51.1% of them were boys, and 48.9% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 60% of the Lubbock ISD total enrollment.

Among the 15 districts in Lubbock County, Frenship ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 10,877 students, while Lubbock-Cooper ISD welcomed 7,592 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Lubbock ISD generally encompasses schools within Lubbock County with its main office in Lubbock.

In the previous school year, Lubbock ISD had the highest number of students among Lubbock 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.
