There were four Asian students enrolled in Colorado ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 20% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Colorado ISD schools welcomed 949 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.4% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Colorado ISD roughly covers schools within Mitchell County and has a main office in Colorado City.

Among the three schools in Colorado ISD schools, Colorado Elementary and Middle School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of three 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.
