There were 16,950 Hispanic students enrolled in Spring ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 2.9% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Spring ISD schools welcomed 33,425 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 50.7% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

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

Among the 42 schools in Spring ISD schools, Westfield High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 1,332 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.
