High Island has a total of 120 students. that is less than 10 students per grade.

They could be assorbed with little to no change in the school other than added bus routes too High island.

The state pays 6200 per student so without county or local funding EC would receive almost 750,000 a year for those kids.

The cost of building and running a new school is some of the reason some of the small schools should be shut down.

Small schools like that cost the tax payers lots of money with little return.

Lots of towns already bus kids more that 15 miles everyday and it works just fine..

They have 120 at the HS and 370 in the district. Still small but not 10 per grade.  I had to go there for an event a few months ago. It would seem they are much more focused on Academics/Theater and not Athletics. The hallway is lined up with regional/state championship trophies from those events the last several years.

According to UIL they have 43.

120 would put them at the 2A level
