In the previous school year, white students still were the most common group in Trinity County County, representing 66.4% of the student body.

Groveton Elementary School, Trinity Junior High School and Groveton Junior High-High School had the most diverse student body in Trinity County County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Multi-racial.
