Westchester Reporter

Of the many ethnicities represented in New York schools, the most prevalent ethnicity among students enrolled in Westchester schools in the 2023-24 school year were white, according to New York State Education Department.

Of the 138,788 students attending Westchester County schools, 40.3% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 38% of Westchester County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Westchester County, representing 41.1% of the student body.

Daniel Webster Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 36.5% white students, 30.8% Hispanic students, 23.1% Black students, 5.5% multiracial students, and 4.2% Asian or Pacific Islander students.

In the 2023-24 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county increased 0.1% 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.
