There were 242 white students enrolled in United ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that United ISD schools welcomed 41,381 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 0.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

United ISD roughly covers schools within Webb County and has a main office in Laredo.

Among the 51 schools in United ISD schools, United High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 37 students.

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.
