There were six white students enrolled in Lasara ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Lasara ISD schools welcomed 351 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 1.7% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the district.

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

Lasara Elementary School was the only school in the district which enrolled white students, welcoming six students in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
