In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Kendall County, comprising 58.3% of the student body.

Boerne Middle South had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, which included 53.1% white students, 37.9% Hispanic students, 3.8% Asian students, 3.5% multiracial students, 1.2% Black students, 0.3% American Indian students, and 0.1% Pacific Islander 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.
