There were 26 multiracial students enrolled in Detroit ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 7.1% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Detroit ISD schools welcomed 490 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 5.3% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Detroit ISD roughly covers schools within Red River County and has a main office in Detroit.

Among the three schools in Detroit ISD schools, Detroit Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 20 students.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
