Morris County Education: Which school had most students enrolled in 2021-22 school year?

Pewitt Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Morris County schools, welcoming 406 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, 51.2% of the students were girls, and 48.8% were boys.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 59.6% of the Pewitt Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the seven schools in Morris County, Daingerfield High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 272 students, while West Elementary School welcomed 265 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Pewitt Elementary School is a part of Pewitt CISD, which roughly covers schools within Morris County with its main office in Omaha.

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

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.

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.
