There were three Asian students enrolled in Zapata 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 Zapata County welcomed 3,287 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the six schools in Zapata County, Zapata Middle School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of two 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.
