Data showed that Rains ISD schools welcomed 1,729 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Rains ISD roughly covers schools within Rains County and has a main office in Emory.

Among the four schools in Rains ISD schools, Rains Intermediate School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of three students.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
