Data showed that Hutchinson County welcomed 3,913 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 56.1% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
