Pearland High School had the highest enrollment among Brazoria County schools, welcoming 3,261 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.1% of them were boys, and 48.9% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Pearland High School students was Hispanic, accounting for 40.6% of the student population.

Among the 99 schools in Brazoria County, Alvin High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,821 students, while Manvel High School welcomed 2,607 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Pearland High School is a part of Pearland ISD, which roughly covers schools within Brazoria County with its main office in Pearland.

In the previous school year, Pearland High School also had the highest number of students among Brazoria County schools.

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.
