There were six American Indian students enrolled in Cochran 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 Cochran County welcomed 674 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian comprised 0.9% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the two schools in Cochran County, Whiteface School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of four 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.
