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

Of the 3,533 students attending Calhoun County schools, 67.3% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 25.4% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Calhoun County, comprising 67.7% of the student body.

Calhoun High School, Travis Middle School and Jackson/Roosevelt Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Calhoun 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 increased by 0.1%.

“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.
