Data showed that Austin County welcomed 5,793 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 12 schools in Austin County, only O'Bryant Primary School and Selman Elementary School enrolled any Pacific Islander students, welcoming three students each in the 2021-22 school year.
Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.
“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
