Seven Lakes High School had the highest enrollment among Fort Bend County schools, welcoming 3,582 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, 50.8% of them were boys, and 49.2% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Seven Lakes High School students was white, accounting for 35.7% of the student population.

Among the 181 schools in Fort Bend County, Cinco Ranch High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 3,475 students, while Tompkins High School welcomed 3,254 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Seven Lakes High School is a part of Katy ISD, which roughly covers schools within Fort Bend County with its main office in Katy.

In the previous school year, Seven Lakes High School also had the highest number of students among Fort Bend 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.

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.
