There were 12 African American students enrolled in Industrial ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 20% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Industrial ISD schools welcomed 1,158 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 1% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Industrial ISD roughly covers schools within Jackson County and has a main office in Vanderbilt.

Among the four schools in Industrial ISD schools, Industrial Elementary East 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.
