There were seven American Indian students enrolled in Lavaca 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 Lavaca County welcomed 2,517 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.3% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 10 schools in Lavaca County, Moulton High School, Shiner Elementary School, and Shiner High School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of two students.

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.
