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

Of the 619 students attending Kimble County schools, 60.1% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 37.2% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Kimble County, comprising 61.3% of the student body.

Junction Middle School and Junction Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Kimble 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 3.1% when compared to the previous year.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. Per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.
