There were four Asian students enrolled in Newton County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 20% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Newton County welcomed 1,745 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Among the six schools in Newton County, Newton High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 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.
