Post ISD had the highest enrollment among Garza County districts, welcoming 786 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 53.2% of them were boys, and 46.8% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 60.3% of the Post ISD total enrollment.

Among the two districts in Garza County, Southland ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 115 students in the 2021-22 school year.

Post ISD generally encompasses schools within Garza County with its main office in Post.

In the previous school year, Post ISD had the highest number of students among Garza 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.
