Data showed that Freestone County welcomed 3,523 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.
