White students made up the largest ethnic group in Stephens County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 1,409 students attending Stephens County schools, 56.5% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 38.2% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Stephens County, comprising 57.4% of the student body.

Breckenridge High School, East Elementary School and South Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Stephens County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

In the 2022-23 school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 0.6% when compared to the previous year.

“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.
