Hispanic students comprised the most prevalent ethnic group in Martin County schools in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 1,290 students attending Martin County schools, 61.3% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 36.2% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Martin County, comprising 59.1% of the student body.

Stanton High School had the most diverse student body in Martin 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 3.7%.

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 district. Per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.
