Roberts County Education: More students enrolled in Miami School in 2021-22 school year

The only school in Roberts County had rising enrollment in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 196 students in the halls of Miami School, 0.5% higher than the year before.

The enrollment numbers in Roberts County amplified the state's increasing trend, showing a sharper increase in student numbers than the state average.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 50.5% of the students were girls, and 49.5% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 85.2% of the Miami School's total enrollment.

Miami School has a main office in Miami and is the only school within Roberts County.

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.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
