There were nine American Indian students enrolled in Garza County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 50% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Garza County welcomed 901 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 1% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the five schools in Garza County, Garza County Regional Juvenile Center recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of five students.

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.
