There was one Asian student enrolled in Briscoe County schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Briscoe County welcomed 396 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Silverton School was the only school in the county to enroll an Asian student, with just one student identified in the 2022-23 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.
