There were 22,063 Hispanic students enrolled in Mclennan County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 0.4% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Mclennan County welcomed 53,544 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic comprised 41.2% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 113 schools in Mclennan County, University High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 1,255 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.
