Data showed that Jackson County welcomed 3,455 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 48.1% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 11 schools in Jackson County, Edna Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 316 students.
