There were five American Indian students enrolled in Pecos County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 16.7% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Pecos County welcomed 2,811 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.2% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the nine schools in Pecos County, only Fort Stockton Intermediate School and Fort Stockton Middle School enrolled any American Indian students, welcoming two students each in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
