In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Lampasas County, comprising 59.1% of the student body.

Lampasas High School had the most even distribution of races among the schools in the county, which included 64.3% white students, 26.4% Hispanic students, 4.8% multiracial students, 2.5% Black students, 0.9% Asian students, 0.6% Pacific Islander students, and 0.5% American Indian students.

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.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. Per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.
