Of the many ethnicities represented in New York schools, the most prevalent ethnicity among students enrolled in Orange schools in the 2021-22 school year were white, according to New York State Education Department.

Of the 56,618 students attending Orange County schools, 45% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 35.9% of Orange County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Orange County, representing 46.7% of the student body.

Balmville School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 47.8% Hispanic students, 22.2% Black students, 17.2% white students, 9% multiracial students, and 4% Asian or Pacific Islander students.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county increased by 0% in the 2021-22 school 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. Persistent and substantial gaps were observed, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
