Of the 1,571 students enrolled in Franklin County schools, 68.2% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 13% increase over the previous school year.
Franklin County enrolled the 84th lowest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged 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.
