Data showed that Newcastle ISD schools welcomed 220 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 2.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

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.
