There were 25 American Indian students enrolled in Paris ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 21.9% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Paris ISD schools welcomed 3,808 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.7% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Paris ISD roughly covers schools within Lamar County and has a main office in Paris.

Among the eight schools in Paris ISD schools, Aikin Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of seven students.

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.
