There were 281 white students enrolled in Somerset ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.6% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Somerset ISD schools welcomed 4,147 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 6.8% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Somerset ISD roughly covers schools within Bexar County and has a main office in Somerset.

Among the eight schools in Somerset ISD schools, Somerset High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 80 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.
