Sullivan County enrolled 9,002 students in the 2023-24 school year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Sullivan County had the 28th lowest enrollment numbers among all counties in the state during the 2023-24 school year.

The number of students in the halls of Sullivan County schools fell by 1.2% compared to the year before.

In the 2023-24 school year, 50.5% of students were boys, and 49.5% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Sullivan County students was white, accounting for 47.8% of the student population.

Within Sullivan County, Monticello High School had the highest enrollment numbers in the school year, welcoming 848 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.
