Mclennan County schools enrolled 23,430 students who identified as being at risk during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 2.1% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 45,347 students enrolled in Mclennan County schools, 51.7% of them are considered to be at risk.

Mclennan County had the 19th highest 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.
