Data showed that Vidor ISD schools welcomed 4,315 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Vidor ISD roughly covers schools within Orange County and has a main office in Vidor.

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.
