In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Runnels County, comprising 49.1% of the student body.
Winters Elementary School and Ballinger Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Runnels 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%.
