There was one American Indian student enrolled in Boys Ranch ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Boys Ranch ISD schools welcomed 178 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Boys Ranch ISD roughly covers schools within Oldham County and has a main office in Boys Ranch.

Boys Ranch High School was the only school in the district which enrolled American Indian students, welcoming one student 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.
