Of the 138,659 students attending Westchester County schools, 41.1% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 37.3% of Westchester County students.
In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Westchester County, representing 42% of the student body.
Ziccolella Middle School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 40% Black students, 20% Hispanic students, 20% white students, and 20% multiracial students.
In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county dropped to 0.4% 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.
