Data showed that Woden ISD schools welcomed 835 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 2.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Woden ISD roughly covers schools within Nacogdoches County and has a main office in Nacogdoches.

Among the three schools in Woden ISD schools, Woden Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of seven 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.
