Data showed that Mildred ISD schools welcomed 848 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 1.8% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Mildred ISD roughly covers schools within Navarro County and has a main office in Corsicana.

Among the two schools in Mildred ISD schools, Mildred High School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 11 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.
