There were 77 Hispanic students enrolled in Vega ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 2.7% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Vega ISD schools welcomed 370 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 20.8% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Vega ISD roughly covers schools within Oldham County and has a main office in Vega.

Among the three schools in Vega ISD schools, Vega High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 27 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.
