There were 872 Asian students enrolled in Nueces County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 3.2% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Nueces County welcomed 56,514 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian comprised 1.5% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 105 schools in Nueces County, Veterans Memorial High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 121 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.
