There were 102 students enrolled in Damon ISD schools in the 2023-24 school year, 8.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 51% were boys, and 49% were girls.

Data also shows that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 62.7% of the district’s total enrollment.

Damon ISD roughly covers schools within Brazoria County with its main office in Damon.

A recent study by WalletHub classified Texas as one of the least-educated states in the U.S., ranking it 41st out of 50 in educational quality and student outcomes.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing Texas’ school districts. According to a 2024 report from the Texas Education Agency, per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock stated in an interview.
