There were three African American students enrolled in Ropes ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Ropes ISD schools welcomed 514 students during the 2021-22 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.

Ropes ISD roughly covers schools within Hockley County and has a main office in Ropesville.

Ropes School was the only school in the district which enrolled African American students, welcoming three students 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.
