There were three multiracial students enrolled in Rising Star ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 50% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Rising Star ISD schools welcomed 183 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the two schools in Rising Star ISD schools, Rising Star Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of two students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

"The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students... dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools... gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
