Allen High School had the highest enrollment among Collin County schools, welcoming 5,315 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.4% of them were boys, and 48.6% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Allen High School students was white, accounting for 45.7% of the student population.

Among the 270 schools in Collin County, Prosper High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 3,297 students, while Plano East Senior High School welcomed 3,124 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Allen High School is a part of Allen ISD, which roughly covers schools within Collin County with its main office in Allen.

In the previous school year, Allen High School also had the highest number of students among Collin County schools.

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.
