There were 41 multiracial students enrolled in Ferris ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 10.8% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Ferris ISD schools welcomed 2,716 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 1.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Ferris ISD roughly covers schools within Ellis County and has a main office in Ferris.

Among the six schools in Ferris ISD schools, Ferris High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 11 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.
