There were 8,607 white students enrolled in Hardin County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 1.6% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Hardin County welcomed 11,219 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white comprised 76.7% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 19 schools in Hardin County, Lumberton High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 1,055 students.

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.
