There were 175 Hispanic students enrolled in Atlanta ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 3.8% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Atlanta ISD schools welcomed 1,879 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 9.3% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Atlanta ISD roughly covers schools within Cass County and has a main office in Atlanta.

Among the four schools in Atlanta ISD schools, Atlanta High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 46 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.
