There were 877 multiracial students enrolled in Rockwall ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 5.8% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Rockwall ISD schools welcomed 18,384 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 4.8% 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 multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 127 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.
