Data showed that Polk County welcomed 7,052 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 59.2% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 18 schools in Polk County, Livingston High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 682 students.
The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.
