There were 20 African American students enrolled in Douglass ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 13% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Douglass ISD schools welcomed 457 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 4.4% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Douglass ISD roughly covers schools within Nacogdoches County and has a main office in Douglass.

Douglass School was the only school in the district which enrolled African American students, welcoming 20 students in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
