There were five Asian students enrolled in Peaster ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 25% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Peaster ISD schools welcomed 1,750 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Peaster ISD roughly covers schools within Parker County and has a main office in Weatherford.

Among the three schools in Peaster ISD schools, Peaster Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of three 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.
