There were 53 African American students enrolled in Hubbard ISD schools in the 2022-23 school year, 10.4% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Hubbard ISD schools welcomed 447 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 11.9% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Hubbard ISD roughly covers schools within Hill County and has a main office in Hubbard.

Among the two schools in Hubbard ISD schools, Hubbard Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 27 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.
