There were two Pacific Islander students enrolled in West ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that West ISD schools welcomed 1,265 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

West Elementary School was the only school in the district which enrolled Pacific Islander students, welcoming two students in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
