There were 2,185 Hispanic students enrolled in Brown County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 1.2% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Brown County welcomed 6,240 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic comprised 35% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 22 schools in Brown County, Brownwood High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 433 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.
