There were 12 African American students enrolled in Industrial ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Industrial ISD schools welcomed 1,188 students during the 2022-23 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 2022-23 school year, with a total of five students.

Texas is found to be one of the least-educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
