Hill County schools enrolled 674 students who were identified as being gifted and talented during the 2021-2022 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 12.4% decrease from the previous school year.

Of the 23,211 students enrolled in Hill County schools, 2.9% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.

Hill County enrolled the 64th highest number of gifted and talented students 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.
