There were 5,340 Black students enrolled in Bowie County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 0.8% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Bowie County welcomed 17,408 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 30.7% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 43 schools in Bowie County, Texas High School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 683 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.
