There were 1,018 Black students enrolled in Washington County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 8% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Washington County welcomed 5,404 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 18.8% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the nine schools in Washington County, Brenham High School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 298 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.
