Data showed that Bailey County welcomed 1,347 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.4% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the four schools in Bailey County, Muleshoe High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of three students.
Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.
Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school districts. 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 said.
| School name | % of Asian students enrolment | Total enrollment |

| Dillman Elementary School | 0.2 | 403 |
| Muleshoe High School | 0.8 | 359 |
| Watson Junior High School | 0 | 295 |
| Mary Deshazo Elementary School | 0.7 | 290 |
