There were 13 Asian students enrolled in Eastland ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 8.3% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Eastland ISD schools welcomed 1,057 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 1.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the three schools in Eastland ISD schools, Siebert Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of five 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.
