There was one American Indian student enrolled in Starr County schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Starr County welcomed 14,854 students during the 2021-22 school year.

Veterans Middle School was the only school in the county which enrolled American Indian students, welcoming just one 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.
