Barbers Hill High School had the highest enrollment among Chambers County schools, welcoming 1,920 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 white, representing 64.8% of the Barbers Hill High School total enrollment.

Among the 16 schools in Chambers County, Barbers Hill Elementary South ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,081 students, while Early Childhood Center welcomed 1,008 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Barbers Hill High School is a part of Barbers Hill ISD, which roughly covers schools within Chambers County with its main office in Mont Belvieu.

In the previous school year, Barbers Hill High School also had the highest number of students among Chambers 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.

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.
