Data showed that El Paso County welcomed 165,865 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Black students comprised 2.1% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 240 schools in El Paso County, only Milam Elementary School and Pebble Hills High School enrolled any Black students, welcoming 127 students each in the 2022-23 school year.
Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.
“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
