There were 2,810 Hispanic students enrolled in Terrell ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 8.3% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Terrell ISD schools welcomed 5,208 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 54% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the nine schools in Terrell ISD schools, Terrell High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 804 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.
