The only school district in La Salle County suffered declining enrollment in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 1,172 students in the halls of Cotulla ISD schools, 7.4% lower than the year before.

Enrollment in La Salle County fell short of the state’s trend compared to the state’s trend of increasing enrollment.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.1% of them were boys, and 48.9% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 94.5% of the Cotulla ISD total enrollment.

Cotulla ISD has a main office in Cotulla and is the only school district within La Salle County.

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.
