There was one Asian student enrolled in Detroit ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as 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, Asian students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Detroit Junior High School was the only school in the district which enrolled Asian students, welcoming one student in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
