White students comprised the most prevalent ethnic group in Armstrong County schools in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 319 students attending Armstrong County schools, 82.1% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 11.9% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Armstrong County, comprising 79.3% of the student body.

Claude Schools had the most diverse student body in Armstrong County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. Per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.
