Among the 18 schools in Wood County, Hawkins High School / Middle recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 32 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.
