Data showed that San Jacinto County welcomed 3,504 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.2% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the eight schools in San Jacinto County, only Lincoln Junior High School and Shepherd Intermediate School enrolled any American Indian students, welcoming two students each in the 2021-22 school year.
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.
