Orange County had the 12th highest enrollment numbers among all counties in the state during the 2022-23 school year.
The number of students in the halls of Orange County schools grew by less than 0.1% compared to the year before.
In the 2022-23 school year, 51% of students were boys, and 49% were girls.
The most represented ethnicity among Orange County students was white, accounting for 43% of the student population.
Within Orange County, Newburgh Free Academy had the highest enrollment numbers in the school year, welcoming 3,436 students.
New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for 2025. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims to increase funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by concerns over rising inflation in the U.S.
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 improve students' school performance.
