Southwest Public Schools

Southwest Public Schools operates open enrollment schools and is based in Southeast Texas. As of the most recent enrollment data released by the state, its student population was 89.3% Hispanic and 95.7% economically disadvantaged.

Charter schools are public schools authorized by the State Board of Education, but unlike independent school districts, their school boards are appointed by their operators, not elected. They still must comply with the Texas Public Information Act and hold public board meetings.
