This is a 6.5% increase over the previous school year.
Of the 255,052 students enrolled in El Paso County schools, 6.4% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.
El Paso County enrolled the eighth highest number of gifted and talented students 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.
