There were three multiracial students enrolled in Murchison ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Murchison ISD schools welcomed 175 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.7% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Murchison Elementary School was the only school in the district which enrolled multiracial students, welcoming three students in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
