The majority of students in Bronx County schools during the 2021-22 school year were Hispanic, according to the New York State Education Department.

Of the 164,228 students attending Bronx County schools, 63.8% were Hispanic. Black students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 23.8% of Bronx County students.

In the previous school year, Hispanic was also the most common student ethnicity in Bronx County, representing 68.6% of the student body.

Women's Academy of Excellence had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 35.8% Hispanic students, 33.7% Black students, 12.6% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 12.6% white students, 3.2% multiracial students, and 2.1% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county dropped by 7.1% 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.
