Data showed that Houston County welcomed 3,062 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 49.7% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 12 schools in Houston County, Latexo Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 211 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.
