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

Of the 98 students attending King County schools, 95.9% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 4.1% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in King County, comprising 95% of the student body.

Guthrie School had the most diverse student body in King County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 17.6%.

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.
