In Texas, schools with a majority of Black students tend to receive more failing grades than top ratings. This presents a challenge for parents in the state, including those in the Tomball area. Parents of Black students must consider whether to enroll their children in schools that offer more academic resources, even if those schools may not align with their values.

Further information on this issue is available from Houston Public Media, which has reported on the difficulties faced by Black Texas families in making these decisions.
