Kingston High School had the highest enrollment among Ulster County schools, welcoming 1,814 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 51% of the Kingston High School's total enrollment.

Among the 41 schools in Ulster County, Wallkill Senior High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 983 students, while J. Watson Bailey Middle School welcomed 942 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Kingston High School is part of Kingston City School District, which roughly covers 10 schools within Ulster County and has a main office in Kingston.

In the previous school year, Kingston High School also had the highest number of students among Ulster County schools.

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.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. 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 at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
