There were 2,008 students in the halls of Perryton ISD schools, 2.1% lower than the year before.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51% of them were boys, and 49% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 73.9% of the Perryton ISD total enrollment.
Perryton ISD has a main office in Perryton and is the only school district within Ochiltree County.
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.
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.
