There were 8,693 Asian students enrolled in Houston ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 0.1% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Houston ISD schools welcomed 194,607 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 4.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the 273 schools in Houston ISD schools, Texas Connections Academy at Houston recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 756 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.
