There were nine African American students enrolled in Iowa Park CISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 12.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Iowa Park CISD schools welcomed 1,895 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 0.5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Iowa Park CISD roughly covers schools within Wichita County and has a main office in Iowa Park.

Among the five schools in Iowa Park CISD schools, Iowa Park High School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of four 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.
