Val Verde County enrolled 10,641 students in the 2022-2023 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is 42 more than the year before.

Val Verde County was ranked 68th in enrollment 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.
