There were 16 African American students enrolled in Uvalde CISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 33.3% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Uvalde CISD schools welcomed 4,116 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.

Uvalde CISD roughly covers schools within Uvalde County and has a main office in Uvalde.

Among the eight schools in Uvalde CISD schools, Robb Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of six 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.
