An overview of Ennis public schools
The federal directory lists 11 public schools in Ennis, TX: 8 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high. The 11 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 6,643 students, an average of 604 per school. The largest campus is Ennis H S (1,887 students), and the largest elementary school is Jack Lummus Int (515).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.6:1, higher than the statewide school median of 14.5:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 65% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
