Of the 1,321 students attending Bailey County schools, 86.8% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 12% of the total enrollment.
In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Bailey County, comprising 87.2% of the student body.
Dillman Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Bailey 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 1.9%.
“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.
