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

Of the 8,983 students attending Sullivan County schools, 51.2% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 33% of Sullivan County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Sullivan County, representing 53.4% of the student body.

Kenneth L. Rutherford School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 40.4% Hispanic students, 31.5% white students, 15.4% Black students, 10.2% multiracial students, and 2.4% Asian or Pacific Islander students.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county dropped by 0.9% 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.
