There were 73 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Northwest ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 15.9% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Northwest ISD schools welcomed 27,583 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander students comprised 0.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Northwest ISD roughly covers schools within Denton County and has a main office in Justin.

Among the 32 schools in Northwest ISD schools, Northwest High School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of eight 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.
