Of the 3,567 students enrolled in Freestone County schools, 61.5% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 2.3% decrease from the previous school year.
Freestone County enrolled the 119th highest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged among Texas counties.
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.
