There were 639 white students enrolled in Westwood ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 5.3% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Westwood ISD schools welcomed 1,332 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, white students comprised 48% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Westwood ISD roughly covers schools within Anderson County and has a main office in Palestine.

Among the four schools in Westwood ISD schools, Westwood Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 186 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.
