There were 9,123 Asian students enrolled in Houston ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 4.9% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Houston ISD schools welcomed 189,934 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 4.8% 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 272 schools in Houston ISD schools, T. H. Rogers School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 597 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.
