Saratoga Standard

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

Of the 30,460 students attending Saratoga County schools, 83.6% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 5.5% of Saratoga County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Saratoga County, representing 84.7% of the student body.

Arongen Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 63.2% white students, 13.5% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 9.7% Hispanic students, 8.5% multiracial students, and 5.2% Black students.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county dropped to 0.9% 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.
