Data showed that Longview ISD schools welcomed 8,274 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 1.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Longview ISD roughly covers schools within Gregg County and has a main office in Longview.

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.
