Data showed that Flour Bluff ISD schools welcomed 5,546 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, American Indian students comprised 0.1% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Flour Bluff ISD roughly covers schools within Nueces County and has a main office in Corpus Christi.

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.
