Frenship High School had the highest enrollment among Lubbock County schools, welcoming 3,035 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.1% of them were boys, and 48.9% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Frenship High School students was Hispanic, accounting for 46.2% of the student population.

Among the 96 schools in Lubbock County, Monterey High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,113 students, while Lubbock-Cooper High School welcomed 2,033 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Frenship High School is a part of Frenship ISD, which roughly covers schools within Lubbock County with its main office in Wolfforth.

In the previous school year, Frenship High School also had the highest number of students among Lubbock 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.

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.
