Gregory-Lincoln Education Center recorded 105 fewer students enrolled in 2023-24 school year than previous school year

Published 07/07/25

There were 493 students enrolled in Gregory-Lincoln Education Center during the 2023-24 school year, 17.6% less than the previous year's 598 students welcomed, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Among the student body, 50.5% were girls and 49.5% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were Black (306), representing 62.1% of the Gregory-Lincoln Education Center total enrollment. Hispanic students comprised the second-largest ethnic group, with 153 students (31%).

The grade level with the highest enrollment was eighth grade, with 72 students enrolled that year, accounting for 14.6% of the total student body.

The school is located in Houston ISD School District, and has a central office in Houston.

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 districts. 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.
