There was one American Indian student enrolled in Edwards 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 Edwards County welcomed 511 students during the 2021-22 school year.

Nueces Canyon Elementary School was the only school in the county which enrolled American Indian students, welcoming just one in the 2021-22 school year.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
