There was one Black student enrolled in Ochiltree County schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Ochiltree County welcomed 2,052 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 0% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Perryton High School was the only school in the county which enrolled Black students, welcoming just one in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
