There were 1,201 multiracial students enrolled in Bowie County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 7.6% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Bowie County welcomed 17,473 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 6.9% of the student body to be the fourth least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 44 schools in Bowie County, Texas High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 89 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.
