There were 54 multiracial students enrolled in Elkhart ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 38.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Elkhart ISD schools welcomed 1,194 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 4.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

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.
