At the time, Denton County had the 10th largest enrollment in the state.
Data also showed that white students made up 37.8% of the student body, the largest percentage in Denton County schools, followed by Hispanic students at 30.2%, Asian students at 13.4%, Black students at 13.1%, American Indian students at 0.4%, Pacific Islander students at 0.1% and multiracial students at 5%.
Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. According to a 2024 report from the Texas Education Agency, per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.
“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock stated in an interview.
