There were 241 white students enrolled in Lipscomb County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 3.6% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Lipscomb County welcomed 639 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 37.7% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Lipscomb County, Follett School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 119 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.
