Morris County schools enrolled 1,008 students who identified as being at risk during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 9.2% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 1,862 students enrolled in Morris County schools, 54.1% of them are considered to be at risk.

Morris County had the 98th lowest number of at-risk students among Texas counties.

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.
