There were two American Indian students enrolled in La Salle County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that La Salle County welcomed 1,170 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in La Salle County, only Frank Newman Middle School and Ramirez-Burks Elementary School enrolled any American Indian students, welcoming one student each in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
