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

Of the 13,550 students attending San Patricio County schools, 70.1% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 25.9% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students also made up the largest ethnic group in San Patricio County, comprising 68.5% of the student body.

Gregory-Portland Middle School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, which included 55.9% Hispanic students, 37.6% white students, 2.5% Asian students, 2% multiracial students, 1.5% Black students, 0.4% American Indian students, and 0.2% Pacific Islander students.

In the 2022-23 school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 0.8% 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.
