Data showed that Sonora ISD schools welcomed 675 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 21.2% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Sonora ISD roughly covers schools within Sutton County and has a main office in Sonora.

Among the two schools in Sonora ISD schools, Sonora Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 81 students.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
