There were two American Indian students enrolled in Forsan ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 60% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Forsan ISD schools welcomed 769 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.3% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Forsan ISD roughly covers schools within Howard County and has a main office in Forsan.

Forsan High School was the only school in the district which enrolled American Indian students, welcoming two students in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
