In the previous school year, white students still were the most common group in Hopkins County County, representing 59.4% of the student body.

Sulphur Springs Elementary School, Sulphur Springs High School and Barbara Bush Primary School had the most diverse student body in Hopkins County County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Multi-racial.
