Wood County Schools: Quitman Elementary School welcomed most students in 2021-22 school year

Quitman Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Wood County schools, welcoming 585 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 54.2% of them were boys, and 45.8% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 79% of the Quitman Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the 18 schools in Wood County, Winnsboro High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 479 students, while Mineola High School welcomed 461 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Quitman Elementary School is a part of Quitman ISD, which roughly covers schools within Wood County with its main office in Quitman.

In the previous school year, Quitman Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Wood County schools.

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.
