There were 265 white students enrolled in Upton County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 11.8% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Upton County welcomed 835 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 31.7% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Upton County, Rankin School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 163 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.
