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

Of the 167,029 students attending Denton County schools, 39.6% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 29.1% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Denton County, comprising 41.3% of the student body.

Degan Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, which included 27.7% Black students, 26.1% Hispanic students, 22.1% white students, 14.6% Asian students, 9.1% multiracial students, 0.2% American Indian students, and 0.2% Pacific Islander students.

In the 2022-23 school year, total public school enrollment in the county increased by 0.3% when compared to the previous 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.
