There were 17 multiracial students enrolled in Chester ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 6.3% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Chester ISD schools welcomed 213 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 8% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Chester ISD roughly covers schools within Tyler County and has a main office in Chester.

Among the two schools in Chester ISD schools, Chester High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 12 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.
