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

Of the 437 students attending Concho County schools, 56.3% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 41% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Concho County, comprising 58.1% of the student body.

Paint Rock School and Eden CISD had the most diverse student body in Concho 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 1.1% when compared to the previous year.

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.
