There were 537 Asian students enrolled in Rockwall ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 9.1% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Rockwall ISD schools welcomed 17,926 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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 Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 87 students.

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.
