Of the 2,151 students attending Dawson County schools, 73.7% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 22.4% of the total enrollment.
In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in Dawson County, comprising 73.9% of the student body.
Lamesa Schools had the most diverse student body in Dawson County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.
When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 3.2%.
“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.
