There were two American Indian students enrolled in Lynn County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Lynn County welcomed 1,610 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the six schools in Lynn County, only Tahoka Elementary School and Tahoka High School enrolled any American Indian students, welcoming one student 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.
