There were 13,935 students in the halls of Eagle PASS ISD schools, 4.1% higher than the year before.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.9% of them were boys, and 48.1% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 97.1% of the Eagle PASS ISD total enrollment.
Eagle PASS ISD has a main office in Eagle Pass and is the only school district within Maverick 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.
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.
