There were 13 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Angelina County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 30% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Angelina County welcomed 16,274 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 42 schools in Angelina County, only Huntington Middle School and Lufkin High School enrolled any Pacific Islander 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.
