There were 411 Black students enrolled in Colorado County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 3.3% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Colorado County welcomed 3,543 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 11.6% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 14 schools in Colorado County, Columbus Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 79 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.
