There were seven Asian students enrolled in Rice CISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 40% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Rice CISD schools welcomed 1,275 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Rice CISD roughly covers schools within Colorado County and has a main office in Altair.

Among the seven schools in Rice CISD schools, Eagle Lake Primary School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of two 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.
