There were 2,966 students enrolled in Athens ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 0.5% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 52.8% of them were boys, and 47.2% were girls.

Data also shows that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 50.3% of the Athens ISD total enrollment.

Athens ISD roughly covers schools within Henderson County with its main office in Athens.

Among the five schools in Athens ISD, Athens High School recorded the highest enrollment of 885 students in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
