There were 12 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Kendall County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 9.1% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Kendall County welcomed 11,473 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 17 schools in Kendall County, Cibolo Creek Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Pacific Islander students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of four students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
