There were 11 American Indian students enrolled in Livingston ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 8.3% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Livingston ISD schools welcomed 4,023 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Livingston ISD roughly covers schools within Polk County and has a main office in Livingston.

Among the seven schools in Livingston ISD schools, Creekside Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 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.
