There were 44,662 white students enrolled in Pima County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 3.5% increase over the 43,158 white students in the previous school year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.
Data showed that Pima County welcomed 153,895 students at the time. Among them, white students made up 29% of the student body making them the second most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 282 schools in Pima County, Marana High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 1,261 students, making up 51.8% of the school’s total student body.
In 2022 Arizona had roughly one teacher for every 19 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for 16 students. Teachers handling a higher number of students was found to have negative consequences for students’ school performance.
A 2023 study from Scholaroo ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor markets for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.
