How many students are enrolled?

School enrollment data plays a critical role in school budgeting decisions, helping leaders plan how many teachers to hire, what services or activities are needed, and whether to build or expand facilities. Notably, enrollment trends also inform decisions to close schools.

Why this matters

Most U.S. states use enrollment to determine state funding for school districts. Texas is one of only six states to do it differently — funding schools based on average daily attendance — despite routine legislative attempts to move to enrollment. Supporters of an attendance-based system say it incentivizes schools to make sure students show up to class. Advocates for an enrollment-based system consider the metric more predictable and say it could provide schools more financial stability.

Enrollment was 132 students in 2026, up 85.9 percent since 2016
