There were 25,875 Hispanic students enrolled in Ector County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 0.6% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Ector County welcomed 33,819 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic comprised 76.5% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 45 schools in Ector County, Odessa High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 3,462 students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
