There were 765 Hispanic students enrolled in Lynn County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 1.5% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Lynn County welcomed 1,610 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic comprised 47.5% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the six schools in Lynn County, O'Donnell School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 187 students.

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.
