There were seven American Indian students enrolled in Petrolia CISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 16.7% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Petrolia CISD schools welcomed 463 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 1.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Petrolia CISD roughly covers schools within Clay County and has a main office in Petrolia.

Among the two schools in Petrolia CISD schools, Petrolia Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of four 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.
