There were seven multiracial students enrolled in La Feria ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 41.7% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that La Feria ISD schools welcomed 2,911 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

La Feria ISD roughly covers schools within Cameron County and has a main office in La Feria.

Among the seven schools in La Feria ISD schools, Sam Houston Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of four students.

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.
