There were seven American Indian students enrolled in Dawson 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 Dawson County welcomed 2,268 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.3% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Dawson County, Sands CISD recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of four students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
