There were 226 students enrolled in Highland ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 3.7% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 53.5% of them were boys, and 46.5% were girls.

Data also shows that the majority of students were white, representing 85.8% of the Highland ISD total enrollment.

Highland ISD roughly covers schools within Nolan County with its main office in Roscoe.

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.
