Data showed that La Feria ISD schools welcomed 2,926 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 0.1% 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, W. B. Green Junior High School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of two students.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
