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

Of the 1,823 students attending Blanco County schools, 60.3% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 35.6% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Blanco County, comprising 59.6% of the student body.

Blanco High School and Blanco Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Blanco 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 0.7%.

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.
