There were four multiracial students enrolled in Newcastle ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 42.9% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Newcastle ISD schools welcomed 212 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.9% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Newcastle ISD roughly covers schools within Young County and has a main office in Newcastle.

Newcastle School was the only school in the district which enrolled multiracial students, welcoming four students in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
