There were 14,998 students enrolled in Coryell County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 0.5% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

At the time, Coryell County had the 58th largest enrollment in the state.

Data also showed that white students made up 39.7% of the student body, the largest percentage in Coryell County schools, followed by Hispanic students at 29.8%, Black students at 16.2%, Pacific Islander students at 2.2%, Asian students at 1.5%, American Indian students at 0.4% and multiracial students at 10.1%.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state's school district. According to a 2024 report from the Texas Education Agency, per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock stated in an interview.
