There were 22 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Parker County schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Parker County welcomed 24,322 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 40 schools in Parker County, Millsap Elementary School, Peaster Elementary School, and Peaster High School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of three students each.

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.
