Denton County schools enrolled 61,980 students who identified as being at risk during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is an 18.4% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 166,298 students enrolled in Denton County schools, 37.3% of them are considered to be at risk.

Denton County had the 11th highest number of at-risk students among Texas counties.

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.
