Of the 74,140 students enrolled in Brazoria County schools, 8.9% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.

Brazoria County enrolled the 16th highest number of gifted and talented students among Texas counties.

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.
