Data showed that San Benito CISD schools welcomed 9,354 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 1.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

San Benito CISD roughly covers schools within Cameron County and has a main office in San Benito.

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.
