There was one Asian student enrolled in Promesa Public Schools District in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Promesa Public Schools District welcomed 970 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Promesa Public Schools District roughly covers schools within Travis County and has a main office in Austin.

Promesa College Prep Brownsville was the only school in the district which enrolled Asian students, welcoming one student in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
