Data showed that Winkler County welcomed 1,678 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.4% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the five schools in Winkler County, only Kermit High School and Kermit Junior High School enrolled any American Indian students, welcoming three students each 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.
