There were five American Indian students enrolled in Tioga ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Tioga ISD schools welcomed 706 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.7% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Tioga ISD roughly covers schools within Grayson County and has a main office in Tioga.

Tioga School was the only school in the district which enrolled American Indian students, welcoming five 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.
