Hispanic students made up the largest ethnic group in Crane County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 1,179 students attending Crane County schools, 84.2% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 13.6% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Crane County, comprising 82.2% of the student body.

Crane Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Crane County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

In the 2022-23 school year, total public school enrollment in the county increased by 2.4% when compared to the previous year.

“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.
