Of the 3,224 students attending Hale County schools, 71.4% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 24.1% of the total enrollment.
In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Hale County, comprising 70.6% of the student body.
Hale Center High School and Plainview High School had the most diverse student body in Hale County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.
When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 1.3%.
“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.
