Hispanic students comprised the most prevalent ethnic group in Uvalde County schools in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 4,634 students attending Uvalde County schools, 84.3% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 14.5% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Uvalde County, comprising 83.9% of the student body.

Uvalde High School had the most diverse student body in Uvalde County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county increased by 3%.

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.
