There were 51 multiracial students enrolled in Jefferson ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 12.1% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Jefferson ISD schools welcomed 1,132 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 4.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Jefferson ISD roughly covers schools within Marion County and has a main office in Jefferson.

Among the four schools in Jefferson ISD schools, Jefferson Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 17 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.
