When my parents attended Templon county schools, almost all their classmates were Caucasian. Templon county schools students are now approximately fifty percent hispanic , ten percent asian, ten percent african-american , twenty five percent caucasian , and five percent other.
I tried my best. I think they are right, but I'm usually wrong. So, I thought I'd check.

When my parents attended school in Templon County, almost all their classmates were Caucasian. Now the student population of schools in Templon County is approximately 50 percent Hispanic, 25 percent Caucasian, 10 percent Asian, 10 percent African-American, and five percent are other nationalities.
Numbers less than 10 should always be spelled out, and 10 and over should be written in numbers.

I capitalised the "County"s and nationalities (as others have already said), and removed the "s" from "schools students" as in this context "school" acts as an adjective and therefore isn't pluralised.
But otherwise its good :)

Capitalize County, because it's part of the name Templon County or if you mean "county schools", I would say "county schools in Templon". There's something wrong with "Templon county schools students" too, but I'm not sure I can put my finger on it. I'd probably just say "Templon County students" unless you mean "county schools" in which case I'd say "students in Templon county schools".
Capitalize all your ethnic group names, and put a hyphen in twenty-five.

the often happening one seems overwhelmingly extra stunning whether there is not any reason why repositioning the adverb ought to distinction the emphasis. examining the alternative recommendations no one seems troubled that they simply 'understand' that one is larger than the alternative with out being able to describe it. If i necessary to guess at extracting the practise - lots adverbs precede the verb they qualify??? As for 'offered' i don't assume it is unsuitable whether i might instinctively shy sparkling of it. What you ought to maximum possibly shop removed from is the 'get to accomplish a little element' production, defined by Trevor Kavanagh in the solar newspaper as 'illiterate' in spite of the fact that as quickly as extra with out any rationalization as to why. As continuously, we are each and every of how all the way down to nitpicking - getting the grammar precisely suitable is important, in spite of the fact that entire comprehension and comprehensibility is extra important. whether i will admit that I even have precisely the equivalent journey of helplessness mutually as i learn some element in an exact context and haven't any thought the style you will possibly use it in one extra context.

Capitalize the ethnicities and "Templeton County Schools" (since it's a title) and you're good-to-go.
