Of the many ethnicities represented in New York schools, the most prevalent ethnicity among students enrolled in New York schools in the 2022-23 school year were Hispanic, according to New York State Education Department.

Of the 121,762 students attending New York County schools, 43.5% were Hispanic. white students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 19.2% of New York County students.

In the previous school year, Hispanic was also the most common student ethnicity in New York County, representing 45.2% of the student body.

Ballet Tech/New York City Public School for Dance had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 34.5% white students, 19% Black students, 18.1% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 15.5% Hispanic students, 11.2% multiracial students, and 1.7% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county dropped to 2.6% when compared to the previous 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, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
