The majority of students in Cass County school districts were white in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 5,411 students attending Cass County schools, 67.4% were white. Black students comprised the second-largest ethnic group in the county, making up 17.3% of the student body.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most represented group in Cass County school districts, comprising 67.7% of the student body.

Atlanta ISD and Queen City ISD had the most diverse student body in the county, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students.

In the 2023-24 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county dropped 0.4% compared to the previous year.

The main offices of all districts mentioned in the story are located in cities associated with Cass County.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.

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.
