Stanton ISD had the highest enrollment among Martin County districts, welcoming 1,103 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, 53.9% of them were boys, and 46.1% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 66.8% of the Stanton ISD total enrollment.

Among the two districts in Martin County, Grady ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 249 students in the 2021-22 school year.

Stanton ISD generally encompasses schools within Martin County with its main office in Stanton.

In the previous school year, Stanton ISD had the highest number of students among Martin 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.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
