There were six Pacific Islander students enrolled in Austin County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

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.

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.
