Caldwell County schools enrolled 379 students who were identified as being gifted and talented during the 2020-2021 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 4.1% decrease from the previous school year.

Of the 7,630 students enrolled in Caldwell County schools, 5% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.

Caldwell County enrolled the 88th highest number of gifted and talented students among Texas counties.
