There were 37 African American students enrolled in Post ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 5.1% less than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Post ISD schools welcomed 741 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 5% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Post ISD roughly covers schools within Garza County and has a main office in Post.

Among the three schools in Post ISD schools, Post Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 16 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.
