Of the 4,581 students attending Hockley County schools, 61.8% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 34.4% of the total enrollment.
In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Hockley County, comprising 61.7% of the student body.
Levelland High School, Levelland Middle School and Levelland Academic Beginnings Center had the most diverse student body in Hockley 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 2.3%.
“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.
