History
![[icon]](/enwiki/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2023) |
Fort Davis, like other Texas communities, formerly had racially segregated schools, with the "American" (for non-Hispanic white children) school on the site of the present-day Fort Davis High School. The "Mexican school" was located at the current site of Dirks-Anderson Elementary School in Fort Davis.[4]
Forrest Wilder of Texas Monthly stated that from about 2013-2023, the district's financial situation declined due to increased money the district has to spend due to rules from the state government and inflation, as well as declining money coming into the district.[5]
In 2023, the district had 184 students.[5]
Operations and budgeting
From circa 2016-2023, the district received annually about $2,500,000 through taxation, and it budgeted annually about $3,100,000.[5]
Campus
As of 2023[update] the campus does not have a cafeteria nor a running track.[5]
