There were eight American Indian students enrolled in Rivercrest ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 300% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Rivercrest ISD schools welcomed 685 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.

Rivercrest ISD roughly covers schools within Red River County and has a main office in Bogata.

Among the three schools in Rivercrest ISD schools, Rivercrest Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of five 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.
