Caldwell ISD had the highest enrollment among Burleson County districts, welcoming 1,965 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 51% of them were boys, and 49% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Caldwell ISD students was white, accounting for 47.2% of the student population.

Among the three districts in Burleson County, Snook ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 606 students, while Somerville ISD welcomed 536 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Caldwell ISD roughly covers schools within Burleson County with its main office in Caldwell.

In the previous school year, Caldwell ISD had the highest number of students among Burleson County districts.

A recent study by WalletHub classified Texas as one of the least-educated states in the U.S., ranking it 41st out of 50 in educational quality and student outcomes.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. According to a 2024 report from the Texas Education Agency, per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock stated in an interview.
