There were 18,918 Asian students enrolled in Tarrant County districts in the 2021-22 school year, slightly more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Tarrant County districts welcomed 346,571 students during 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 5.5% of the student body to be the fourth most represented ethnicity in the county districts.

Among the 25 districts in Tarrant County, Keller ISD recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in 2021-22 school year, with a total of 3,060 students.

The main offices of all districts mentioned in the story are located in cities associated with Tarrant County.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.

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.

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.
