Ikard Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, which included 46.3% white students, 41.5% Hispanic students, 5.8% multiracial students, 4.7% Black students, 0.8% American Indian students, 0.6% Asian students, and 0.3% Pacific Islander 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.
