El Paso Standard

Franklin High School had the highest enrollment among El Paso County schools, welcoming 3,108 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 52% of them were boys, and 48% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 82.9% of the Franklin High School total enrollment.

Among the 253 schools in El Paso County, Pebble Hills High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,754 students, while Eastlake High School welcomed 2,683 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

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

In the previous school year, Franklin High School also had the highest number of students among El Paso 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.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
