There were 160 multiracial students enrolled in Silsbee ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 2.4% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Silsbee ISD schools welcomed 2,718 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 5.9% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Silsbee ISD roughly covers schools within Hardin County and has a main office in Silsbee.

Among the four schools in Silsbee ISD schools, Silsbee Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 63 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.
