Dickinson High School had the highest enrollment among Galveston County schools, welcoming 3,619 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, 50.9% of them were boys, and 49.1% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 50.8% of the Dickinson High School total enrollment.

Among the 86 schools in Galveston County, Clear Springs High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,732 students, while Clear Falls High School welcomed 2,473 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

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

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

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.
