There were seven American Indian students enrolled in Buna ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 75% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Buna ISD schools welcomed 1,477 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Buna ISD roughly covers schools within Jasper County and has a main office in Buna.

Among the three schools in Buna ISD schools, Buna Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of four 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.
