There were 20 multiracial students enrolled in Roosevelt ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 17.6% 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, multiracial students comprised 1.8% of the student body to be one of the least 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 High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of eight 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.
