There were 764 students enrolled in Hearne Independent School District during the 2023-24 school year, 1.7% more than the previous year's 751 students welcomed, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Among the student body, 53.4% were boys and 46.6% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among the students in Hearne Independent School District was Hispanic, with 46.6% of students identifying as Hispanic.

The grade level with the highest enrollment was ninth grade, with 77 students enrolled that year, accounting for 10.1% of the total student body.

The district covers two schools, and has a central office in Hearne.

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.
