There were 10 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Orange County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 9.1% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Orange County welcomed 15,015 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Pacific Islander comprised 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 23 schools in Orange County, West Orange-Stark Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of three students each.

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.
