Hudson Falls Middle School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 87.3% white students, 6.8% multiracial students, 3.7% Hispanic students, 1.4% Black students, 0.6% American Indian or Alaska Native students, and 0.2% Asian or Pacific Islander students.

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.
