There were two multiracial students enrolled in Runge ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Runge ISD schools welcomed 217 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 0.9% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Runge Elementary School was the only school in the district which enrolled multiracial students, welcoming two students in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
