What are the school demographics?

The state tracks the race and ethnicity of students to evaluate how schools are serving groups who have been historically discriminated against, with a focus on identifying and addressing continued inequities in student experiences and outcomes. Racial and ethnic data is also used to ensure schools are in compliance with state and federal laws.

Why this matters

Texas serves more than 5.5 million students, operating the second-largest public school system in the U.S. and educating one of the most diverse student populations in the country. Enrollment trends suggest the student population will soon be majority Hispanic. The state's growth has been bringing diversity to pockets of the state that were once nearly all white, transforming the racial makeup of public school classrooms, and raising questions about how those schools are governed.

A deeper dive

More than 60 years after Brown v. Board of Education, more than 1 million Black and Hispanic students study in Texas classrooms that include few to no white students. State leaders and education officials are working to give all students more educational opportunities but have largely abandoned racial integration as a tool for equity. Read more about this in The Texas Tribune series "Dis-Integration." Also from the Texas Tribune education team: Low test scores on one campus can trigger a state takeover in Texas, affecting Black, Hispanic and low-income students most.
