Swisher County schools enrolled 1,055 students who identified as economically disadvantaged in the state during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 1,477 students enrolled in Swisher County schools, 71.4% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 3.2% decrease from the previous school year.

Swisher County enrolled the 84th lowest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged 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.
