Data showed that Hutchinson County welcomed 3,913 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic comprised 36.5% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 13 schools in Hutchinson County, Borger High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 364 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.
