There were three multiracial students enrolled in Turkey-Quitaque ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Turkey-Quitaque ISD schools welcomed 193 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Turkey-Quitaque ISD roughly covers schools within Hall County and has a main office in Turkey.

Valley School was the only school in the district which enrolled multiracial students, welcoming three students in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
