Schools in Irion County

One district, one town, two schools — and both rank in the top quartile statewide. That kind of consistency is rare anywhere in Texas, and in Irion County it plays out across every grade level. Irion High School sits at the 89th percentile statewide, while Irion Elementary reaches the 83rd, meaning students in Mertzon move through a pipeline that performs well from the earliest grades onward. For families weighing a rural West Texas setting, the public school options here are limited in number but not in quality.
