There were four American Indian students enrolled in Alpine ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 33.3% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Alpine ISD schools welcomed 954 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.4% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Alpine ISD roughly covers schools within Brewster County and has a main office in Alpine.

Among the three schools in Alpine ISD schools, Alpine Middle School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of two students.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
