There were 4,339 Hispanic students enrolled in Rockwall ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 8% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

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

Among the 22 schools in Rockwall ISD schools, Rockwall-Heath High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 754 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.
