In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Hunt County, comprising 52.2% of the student body.

Commerce Middle School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, which included 37.8% white students, 28.7% Black students, 23.9% Hispanic students, 6.6% multiracial students, 2.1% Asian students, 0.6% Pacific Islander students, and 0.3% American Indian students.

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.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. Per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.
