Actually, it was Texas. My high school in Kermit, Texas, integrated peacefully in early 1955. Four black students entered the school on that year. They all achieved scholastical and athletic excellence!

When was the first school in the world created?
Answerthe first public school in England was eton. opened in the 1400's AnswerWe have to be careful in this answer because the term "public school" means different things to different people. In the UK, a public school is independent, which makes it the equivalent of a private school in the US. Given that definition, Eton is probably the oldest, though I cannot say it was the first. In the US, a public school is a state run school. It is hard to know what the first school was under this definition. Clearly there were schools financed at public expense in the Roman Empire, especially if you include schools set up by emperors by decree. The Byzantines had a primary school system open in 425 AD. The oldest state run school in the world is said to be Beverley Grammar School, which was opened in Northumbria in 700 AD.
