There were two Pacific Islander students enrolled in Wharton ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Wharton ISD schools welcomed 1,844 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the four schools in Wharton ISD schools, Wharton Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of one student.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
