Greene County enrolled 5,115 students in the 2023-24 school year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Greene County had the ninth lowest enrollment numbers among all counties in the state during the 2023-24 school year.

The number of students in the halls of Greene County schools fell by 0.9% compared to the year before.

In the 2023-24 school year, 50.6% of students were boys, and 49.4% were girls.

Most of the students were white, representing 81% of the Greene County student body.

Within Greene County, Catskill Elementary School had the highest enrollment numbers in the school year, welcoming 584 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.
