There were five Pacific Islander students enrolled in Wood 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 Wood County welcomed 6,324 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 18 schools in Wood County, Hawkins Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of two 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.
