There were 10 American Indian students enrolled in Westwood ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 11.1% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Westwood ISD schools welcomed 1,414 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.7% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Westwood ISD roughly covers schools within Anderson County and has a main office in Palestine.

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