There were 15 Multiracial students enrolled in Pecos County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 50% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Pecos County welcomed 2,811 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Multiracial comprised 0.5% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the nine schools in Pecos County, only Fort Stockton Apache Elementary School and Fort Stockton High School enrolled any Multiracial students, welcoming four students each in the 2021-22 school year.

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.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
