There were 115 African American students enrolled in Pewitt CISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 14.8% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Pewitt CISD schools welcomed 867 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 13.3% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Pewitt CISD roughly covers schools within Morris County and has a main office in Omaha.

Among the three schools in Pewitt CISD schools, Pewitt High School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 43 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.
