Data showed that Swisher County welcomed 1,477 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.3% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the seven schools in Swisher County, only Kress Elementary School and Kress High School enrolled any Pacific Islander students, welcoming two students each in the 2021-22 school year.
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.
