Idea Public Schools had the highest enrollment among Nueces County districts, welcoming 67,988 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 50.3% of them were boys, and 49.7% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 85.7% of the Idea Public Schools total enrollment.

Among the 20 districts in Nueces County, Corpus Christi ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 33,175 students, while Flour Bluff ISD welcomed 5,546 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Idea Public Schools generally encompasses schools within Nueces County with its main office in Weslaco.

In the previous school year, Idea Public Schools had the highest number of students among Nueces County districts.

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.
