Grayson Times

There were 14,417 white students enrolled in Grayson County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.7% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Grayson County welcomed 25,310 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 57% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 58 schools in Grayson County, Denison High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 730 students.

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 districts. 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 said.
