There were 645 Hispanic students enrolled in Roosevelt ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 7% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Roosevelt ISD schools welcomed 1,114 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 57.9% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the three schools in Roosevelt ISD schools, Roosevelt Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 270 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.
