During the same period, the proportion of enrollment ac-counted for by White students decreased from 38.7 percent to 29.5 percent in Texas and from 58.7 percent to 50.3 percent nationwide.
National figures indicate the majority of students in Texas (60.1%) were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the 2013-14 school year, 8.1 percentage points higher than the national average (52.0%). Between 2000-01 and 2013-14, the percentage of eligible students increased by 15.2 percentage points in Texas and by 13.7 percentage points nationwide.
Between 2006-07 and 2016-17, the number of students participating in Title I programs increased by 24.0 percent. In the 2016-17 school year, 65.0 percent of students were enrolled in Title I programs.
Across the five largest racial/ethnic groups in 2016-17, Hispanic students accounted for the largest percentage of total enrollment in open-enrollment charter schools (59.9%), followed by African American (18.8%), White (14.6%), Asian (4.6%), and multiracial (1.7%) students.
• In the 2016-17 school year, 68.6 percent of Texas open-enrollment charter school students were iden-tified as economically disadvantaged.
• According to national figures, public school enrollment in Texas increased by 19.0 percent between 2003 and 2013, more than six times the increase in the United States (3.1%) over the same time pe-riod. This was the second-highest percentage increase in statewide public school enrollment in the nation, behind Utah (26.1%).
Across the five largest racial/ethnic groups in 2016-17, enrollment increased from the previous year for African American, Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial students and decreased for White students.
• Across the same groups, Hispanic students accounted for the largest percentage of total enrollment in Texas public schools in 2016-17 (52.4%), followed by White (28.1%), African American (12.6%), Asian (4.2%), and multiracial (2.2%) students.
Between 1987-88 and 2016-17, the racial/ethnic composition of the student population served by Texas public schools changed. In the 2001-02 school year, the number of Hispanic students surpassed the number of White students for the first time (TEA, 2003). Between 2001-02 and 2016-17, the number of Hispanic students continued to rise, and the number of White students declined (Figure 1 on page 7 and Table 4 on page 8) (see also TEA, 2005). In addition, the percentages of total enrollment represented by Asian and multiracial students steadily increased by 0.1 to 0.2 percentage points each year between the 2009-10 and 2016-17 school years (Table 4 on page 8).
Each year between 2006-07 and 2016-17, the majority of students met the state criteria for economic disadvantage (Figure 2 and Table 7 on page 10). In the 2016-17 school year, 59.0 percent of students were identified as economically disadvantaged. Under Texas Education Agency (TEA) guidelines, stu-dents were identified as economically disadvantaged if they were eligible for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Program (TEA, 2016c).
Between 2006-07 and 2016-17, Hispanic enrollment increased by 681,739 students (32.0%). White students, whose enrollment fell by 133,216 students, or 8.1 percent, over the same period, had the only decrease in enrollment.
The percentages of individual group enrollment accounted for by students identified as economically disadvantaged were larger for Hispanic (75.6%) and African American (71.3%) students than for multiracial (42.9%), White (28.2%), and Asian (27.8%) students in 2016-17 (Table 8 on page 12).
• In 2016-17, Hispanic students accounted for the largest percentage of all students in Texas public schools and of all students identified as economically disadvantaged
Hispanic students, who made up 52.4 percent of total enrollment in the 2016-17 school year, made up 64.3 per-cent of prekindergarten students (Table 4 on page 8, Figure 6, and Table 12 on page 18). In contrast, White students, who made up 28.1 percent of total enrollment, made up 14.8 percent of prekindergar-ten students.
African American and Hispanic representation was smaller in gifted and talented programs (6.4% and 41.4%, respectively) and larger in Title I programs (13.5% and 62.9%, respectively) than in the over-all student population (12.6% and 52.4%, respectively) in 2016-17. Conversely, Asian, White, and multiracial representation was larger in gifted and talented programs (10.3%, 38.8%, and 2.7%, re-spectively) and smaller in Title I programs (2.2%, 19.2%, and 1.6%, respectively) than in the overall student population (4.2%, 28.1%, and 2.2%, respectively).
