There was one American Indian student enrolled in Presidio 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 Presidio County welcomed 1,317 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Lucy Rede Franco Middle School was the only school in the county which enrolled American Indian students, welcoming just one 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.
