There were 810 students enrolled in Reagan County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 1.1% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

At the time, Reagan County had the 49th lowest enrollment in the state.

Data also showed that Hispanic students made up 85.3% of the student body, the largest percentage in Reagan County schools, followed by white students at 13.7%, Asian students at 0.5%, Black students at 0.1% and multiracial students at 0.4%.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. According to a 2024 report from the Texas Education Agency, per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock stated in an interview.
