White students made up the largest ethnic group in Comal County schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 28,362 students attending Comal County schools, 52% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 40% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Comal County, comprising 52.6% of the student body.

School of Science and Technology Schertz had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, which included 43.3% Hispanic students, 37.1% white students, 12.8% Black students, 3.1% Asian students, 3.1% multiracial students, 0.3% American Indian students, and 0.3% Pacific Islander students.

In the 2022-23 school year, total public school enrollment in the county increased by 2.1% when compared to the previous year.

“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.
