There were 31 multiracial students enrolled in Hardeman County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 6.1% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Hardeman County welcomed 664 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 4.7% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Hardeman County, only Reagan Elementary School and Travis Middle School enrolled any multiracial students, welcoming nine students each in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
