The majority of students in Culberson County districts were Hispanic in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 366 students attending Culberson County schools, 82% were Hispanic. White students comprised the second-largest ethnic group in the county, making up 13.4% of the student body.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students were also the most represented group in Culberson County districts, comprising 84.2% of the student body.

Culberson County-Allamoore ISD had the most diverse student body in the county, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county increased 1.7% compared to the previous year.

The main offices of all districts mentioned in the story are located in cities associated with Culberson County.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.

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.
