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

Data showed that Woodsboro ISD schools welcomed 427 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 0.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Woodsboro Elementary School was the only school in the district which enrolled multiracial students, welcoming two students in the 2022-23 school year.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

"The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students... dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools... gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
