Data showed that Tarkington ISD schools welcomed 1,809 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 13% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Tarkington ISD roughly covers schools within Liberty County and has a main office in Cleveland.
