There were four African American students enrolled in Henrietta ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Henrietta ISD schools welcomed 945 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 0.4% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Henrietta ISD roughly covers schools within Clay County and has a main office in Henrietta.

Among the three schools in Henrietta ISD schools, Henrietta Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of three 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.
