Data showed that Washington County welcomed 5,509 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 3% of the student body to be the fourth least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 10 schools in Washington County, only Brenham High School and Brenham Middle School enrolled any multiracial students, welcoming 27 students each in the 2022-23 school year.
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.
