Data showed that Jefferson County welcomed 40,532 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 37.3% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 72 schools in Jefferson County, Beaumont United High School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 1,432 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.
