There were 65 white students enrolled in La Feria ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 14.5% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that La Feria ISD schools welcomed 2,926 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 2.2% 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, David G. Sanchez Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 15 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.
