Austin County schools enrolled 2,448 students who identified as being at risk during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 0.7% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 5,490 students enrolled in Austin County schools, 44.6% of them are considered to be at risk.

Austin County had the 96th 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.
