There were 47 Asian students enrolled in China Spring ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 6.8% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that China Spring ISD schools welcomed 2,958 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 1.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

China Spring ISD roughly covers schools within McLennan County and has a main office in China Spring.

Among the five schools in China Spring ISD schools, China Spring Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 17 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.
