Of the 73,318 students enrolled in Brazoria County schools, 51.6% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 2% increase over the previous school year.
Brazoria County enrolled the 16th highest 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.
