There were 345 Hispanic students enrolled in Lasara ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 5.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Lasara ISD schools welcomed 351 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 98.3% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the district.

Lasara ISD roughly covers schools within Willacy County and has a main office in Lasara.

Among the two schools in Lasara ISD schools, Lasara Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 245 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.
