Llano County schools enrolled 1,272 students who identified as economically disadvantaged in the state during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 2,006 students enrolled in Llano County schools, 63.4% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 7.3% increase over the previous school year.

Llano County enrolled the 98th lowest 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.
