Katy ISD had the highest enrollment among Waller County districts, welcoming 92,667 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.4% of them were boys, and 48.6% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Katy ISD students was Hispanic, accounting for 36.3% of the student population.

Among the four districts in Waller County, Waller ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 8,834 students, while Royal ISD welcomed 2,637 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Katy ISD roughly covers schools within Waller County with its main office in Katy.

In the previous school year, Katy ISD had the highest number of students among Waller County districts.

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.
