There were 11,318 students enrolled in Huntsville Independent School District during the 2023-24 school year, the same amount as the previous year’s 11,313 students welcomed, according to the Texas Education Agency.
Among the student body, 51.5% were girls and 48.5% were boys.
The most represented ethnicity among the students in Huntsville Independent School District was Hispanic, with 40.4% of students identifying as Hispanic.
The grade level with the highest enrollment was eighth grade, with 1,310 students enrolled that year, accounting for 11.6% of the total student body.
The district covers 11 schools, and has a central office in Huntsville.
A recent study by WalletHub classified Texas as one of the least-educated states in the U.S., ranking it 41st out of 50 in educational quality and student outcomes.
Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state’s school districts. 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.
