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

Of the 167,098 students attending Denton County schools, 37.8% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 30.2% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Denton County, comprising 39.6% of the student body.

STEM Academy at Polser Elementary had the most even distribution of races among the schools in the county, which included 29.6% Asian students, 21.4% white students, 20.8% Black students, 19.4% Hispanic students, 8% multiracial students, 0.6% Pacific Islander students, and 0.2% American Indian students.

When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county increased by 0%.

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.
