Data showed that Newton County welcomed 1,726 students during the 2021-22 school year.
Among the six schools in Newton County, Newton High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of two students.
Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.
“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
