Data showed that Brazos ISD schools welcomed 851 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 34% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Brazos ISD roughly covers schools within Austin County and has a main office in Wallis.

Among the three schools in Brazos ISD schools, Brazos Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 112 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.
