There were five Pacific Islander students enrolled in Redwater ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 25% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Redwater ISD schools welcomed 1,059 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander students comprised 0.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Redwater ISD roughly covers schools within Bowie County and has a main office in Texarkana.

Among the four schools in Redwater ISD schools, Redwater Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of two students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

"The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students... dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools... gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
