There were eight African American students enrolled in Sudan ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Sudan ISD schools welcomed 474 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 1.7% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Sudan ISD roughly covers schools within Lamb County and has a main office in Sudan.

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