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

Of the 340 students attending Sterling County schools, 52.9% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 44.7% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Sterling County, comprising 53.8% of the student body.

Sterling City School had the most diverse student body in Sterling 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 increased by 4% 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.
