Texas Student Enrollment Data

Who Educates Texas Students

They are educated in diverse settings by teachers of all types. While homeschooling and private/religious schools are popular choices in Texas, the vast majority of Texas students attend public schools, whether they be neighborhood campuses, open-enrollment charter schools, magnet schools, specialized academies, or a range of other public options.

Below is a summary of student enrollment in Texas and the sources for our information. All enrollment information is current as of the 2014-15 school year.

Public Schools

Note: There are no official sources for Texas-specific data on home school enrollment. Home school participation varies from state to state, but the National Center for Education Statistics estimates approximately 3% of students nationwide are homeschooled, which would equate to 170,610 students in Texas.
