There were two American Indian students enrolled in Tahoka ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Tahoka ISD schools welcomed 595 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Tahoka ISD roughly covers schools within Lynn County and has a main office in Tahoka.

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

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.
