There were 112 multiracial students enrolled in Bonham ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 6.7% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Bonham ISD schools welcomed 1,899 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 5.9% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Bonham ISD roughly covers schools within Fannin County and has a main office in Bonham.

Among the five schools in Bonham ISD schools, Finley-Oates Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 34 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.
