The county's education system continued to expand through the 1880s and 90s. Sometime around 1879, the Antioch School was founded and would become a school district shortly afterward. Sometime in the early 1880s, the Brushy Mound School was constructed, serving its respective community. The Amy School was built in 1890 and served the community of Amy until 1905, due to declining enrollment and citizens in the community. In 1896, Cooper built its first school; previously, the city had been focusing on establishing a government and its economy. During the 1890s, the state of Texas passed a number of laws allowing for more freedom to cities about creating schools, and the new laws lead to the creation of independent school districts. At the turn of the century, there were already 526 school districts in the state. In Delta County, an instance of this occurred when, in 1897, the Enloe School absorbed either the Mount Hebron School or the Hagood School and formed the Enloe School District.
