There were 140 African American students enrolled in Lovejoy ISD schools in the 2021-22 school year, 8.5% more than the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Lovejoy ISD schools welcomed 4,345 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 3.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Lovejoy ISD roughly covers schools within Collin County and has a main office in Allen.

Among the five schools in Lovejoy ISD schools, Lovejoy High School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 61 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.
