There were 18 African American students enrolled in Greenwood ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 5.9% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Greenwood ISD schools welcomed 3,140 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 0.6% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Greenwood ISD roughly covers schools within Midland County and has a main office in Midland.

Among the four schools in Greenwood ISD schools, Greenwood Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 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.
