Orenda Charter School had the highest enrollment among Mills County districts, welcoming 1,907 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, 50.9% of them were boys, and 49.1% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 59.7% of the Orenda Charter School total enrollment.

Among the four districts in Mills County, Goldthwaite ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 533 students, while Mullin ISD welcomed 195 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Orenda Charter School generally encompasses schools within Mills County with its main office in Georgetown.

In the previous school year, Orenda Charter School had the highest number of students among Mills 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.
