Data showed that Orange County welcomed 15,015 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 69.7% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 23 schools in Orange County, Vidor High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 1,101 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.
