There were 270 Asian students enrolled in Ellis County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 10.7% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Ellis County welcomed 41,703 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian comprised 0.6% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 63 schools in Ellis County, Midlothian High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 22 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.
