Smith County schools enrolled 24,313 students who identified as economically disadvantaged in the state during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 37,283 students enrolled in Smith County schools, 65.2% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 3.5% decrease from the previous school year.

Smith County enrolled the 22nd 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.
