There were 27 Asian students enrolled in Athens ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 12.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Athens ISD schools welcomed 2,966 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.9% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Athens ISD roughly covers schools within Henderson County and has a main office in Athens.

Among the five schools in Athens ISD schools, Athens High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 11 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.
