Of the 1,244 students attending Brooks County schools, 97% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 2.3% of the total enrollment.
In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Brooks County, comprising 97.2% of the student body.
Falfurrias Junior High School and Falfurrias Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Brooks 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 3.2%.
“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.
