Tivy High School had the highest enrollment among Kerr County schools, welcoming 1,449 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 Tivy High School students was white, accounting for 48.9% of the student population.

Among the 18 schools in Kerr County, Peterson Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,095 students, while Fred High Tally Elementary School welcomed 555 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Tivy High School is a part of Kerrville ISD, which roughly covers schools within Kerr County with its main office in Kerrville.

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.
