There were 11 American Indian students enrolled in Queen City ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Queen City ISD schools welcomed 935 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 1.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Queen City ISD roughly covers schools within Cass County and has a main office in Queen City.

Among the three schools in Queen City ISD schools, Morris Upchurch Middle School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of five students.

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.
