White students comprised the most prevalent ethnic group in Fayette County schools in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 3,778 students attending Fayette County schools, 48.9% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 40.5% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Fayette County, comprising 49.5% of the student body.

La Grange High School and La Grange Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Fayette County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county dropped 0.2%.

“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.
