There were seven multiracial students enrolled in Baird ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 40% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Baird ISD schools welcomed 312 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 2.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Baird ISD roughly covers schools within Callahan County and has a main office in Baird.

Among the two schools in Baird ISD schools, Baird High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of four 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.
