Benavides Independent School District with its main office in Benavides enrolled 104 students who identified as at risk during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

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.
