There were two American Indian students enrolled in Brooks County ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Brooks County ISD schools welcomed 1,342 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Brooks County ISD roughly covers schools within Brooks County and has a main office in Falfurrias.

Among the five schools in Brooks County ISD schools, Falfurrias Innovation Academy recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 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.
