There were 20 Black students enrolled in Somervell County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 47.4% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Somervell County welcomed 2,099 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Black students comprised 1% of the student body to be the fourth least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the five schools in Somervell County, Brazos River Charter School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of seven students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
