Data showed that Irion County ISD schools welcomed 333 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Irion County ISD roughly covers schools within Irion County and has a main office in Mertzon.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

"The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students... dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools... gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
