There were 13 American Indian students enrolled in Wylie ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 30% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Wylie ISD schools welcomed 5,419 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.

Wylie ISD roughly covers schools within Taylor County and has a main office in Abilene.

Among the seven schools in Wylie ISD schools, Wylie East Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of five students.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
