There were 23 Asian students enrolled in Gray County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 21.1% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Gray County welcomed 3,870 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian comprised 0.6% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the nine schools in Gray County, Pampa High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of eight 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.
