TX Commissioner of Education Mike Morath 2023 | State Board for Education
Of the 358,592 students enrolled in Bexar County schools, 63.4% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 3.3% increase over the previous school year.
Bexar County enrolled the third highest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged among Texas counties.
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.
