Alvin ISD had the highest enrollment among Brazoria County districts, welcoming 28,085 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.3% of them were boys, and 48.7% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Alvin ISD students was Hispanic, accounting for 41.1% of the student population.

Among the nine districts in Brazoria County, Pearland ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 21,007 students, while Brazosport ISD welcomed 11,478 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Alvin ISD generally encompasses schools within Brazoria County with its main office in Alvin.

In the previous school year, Alvin ISD had the highest number of students among Brazoria County districts.

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.

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.
