There were 300 Multiracial students enrolled in Cherokee County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 5.3% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Cherokee County welcomed 8,096 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Multiracial comprised 3.7% of the student body to be the fourth least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 18 schools in Cherokee County, East Side Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Multiracial students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 31 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.
