There were 18,694 Black students enrolled in Bell County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 1.6% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Bell County welcomed 77,572 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 24.1% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 124 schools in Bell County, C. E. Ellison High School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 1,074 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.
