Of the many ethnicities represented in Texas districts, the most prevalent ethnic group among students enrolled in Nacogdoches County districts in the 2022-23 school year was white, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 10,604 students attending Nacogdoches County schools, 41.5% were white. Hispanic students comprised the second-largest ethnic group in the county, making up 35.1% of the student body.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most represented group in Nacogdoches County districts, comprising 41.8% of the student body.

Cushing ISD and Martinsville ISD had the most diverse student body in the county, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county dropped 0.6% compared to the previous year.

The main offices of all districts mentioned in the story are located in cities associated with Nacogdoches County.

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.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.

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.
