Of the many ethnicities represented in New York schools, the most prevalent ethnicity among students enrolled in Westchester schools in the 2021-22 school year were white, according to New York State Education Department.

Of the 139,163 students attending Westchester County schools, 41.9% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 36.6% of Westchester County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Westchester County, representing 43.2% of the student body.

Pocantico Hills Central School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 38% white students, 26.7% Hispanic students, 17.7% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 10.7% Black students, and 7% multiracial students.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county dropped by 1.8% in the 2021-22 school year.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to help improve students' school performance.

A 2021 report from the NYC Center for Innovation Through Data Intelligence revealed racial and gender groups were seeing better outcomes compared to 2013, though significant disparities remained between different groups. Persistent and substantial gaps were observed, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
