There were 13 African American students enrolled in Coleman ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Coleman ISD schools welcomed 802 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 1.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Coleman ISD roughly covers schools within Coleman County and has a main office in Coleman.

Among the three schools in Coleman ISD schools, Coleman Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of five 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.
