There were six American Indian students enrolled in Hereford ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 14.3% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Hereford ISD schools welcomed 3,952 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Hereford ISD roughly covers schools within Deaf Smith County and has a main office in Hereford.

Among the eight schools in Hereford ISD schools, Hereford High School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of two 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.
