Stuyvesant High School had the highest enrollment among New York County schools, welcoming 3,257 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were Asian or Pacific Islanders, representing 72% of the Stuyvesant High School's total enrollment.

Among the 295 schools in New York County, Fiorello H. Laguardia High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,140 students, while High School for Health Professions & Human Services welcomed 1,667 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Stuyvesant High School is part of New York City Geographic District # 2, which roughly covers 118 schools within New York County and has a main office in New York.

In the previous school year, Stuyvesant High School also had the highest number of students among New York County schools.

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 improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
