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

Of the 3,368 students attending Tyler County schools, 75.6% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 10% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Tyler County, comprising 77% of the student body.

Woodville High School had the most even distribution of races among the schools in the county, which included 53.3% white students, 22.5% Black students, 12.4% Hispanic students, 7.4% multiracial students, 2.5% American Indian students, 1.6% Asian students, and 0.3% Pacific Islander students.

When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 4.7%.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock said.
