San Saba Elementary School had the highest enrollment among San Saba County schools, welcoming 294 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.7% of them were boys, and 49.3% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 60.9% of the San Saba Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the five schools in San Saba County, San Saba Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 210 students, while San Saba High School welcomed 180 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

San Saba Elementary School is a part of San Saba ISD, which roughly covers schools within San Saba County with its main office in San Saba.

In the previous school year, San Saba Elementary School also had the highest number of students among San Saba County schools.

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.
