The majority of students in Hardeman County districts were white in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 664 students attending Hardeman County schools, 50.6% were white. Hispanic students comprised the second-largest ethnic group in the county, making up 39.6% of the student body.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most represented group in Hardeman County districts, comprising 52.9% of the student body.

Chillicothe ISD and Quanah ISD had the most diverse student body in the county, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county dropped 4.7% compared to the previous year.

The main offices of all districts mentioned in the story are located in cities associated with Hardeman 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.

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.
