White students made up the largest ethnic group in Bosque County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 2,478 students attending Bosque County schools, 57.4% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 36.3% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Bosque County, comprising 57.5% of the student body.

Clifton Elementary School and Meridian Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Bosque County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

In the 2022-23 school year, total public school enrollment in the county remained the same when compared to the previous year.

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.
