There were 3,335 white students enrolled in Kerr County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 1.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Kerr County welcomed 6,763 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 49.3% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 16 schools in Kerr County, Tivy High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 709 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.
