There was one Pacific Islander student enrolled in Donley County schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Donley County welcomed 580 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.2% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Clarendon High School was the only school in the county which enrolled Pacific Islander students, welcoming just one 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.
