Of the 1,115,160 students enrolled in Arizona schools during the 2023-24 school year, 3.2% identified as Asian, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

This equates to 35,892 Asian students at the time, which is an increase over the previous year's total of 34,716.

Statewide, Hispanic or Latino students made up the most represented ethnic group within public schools, representing 48.2% of the student body.

A 2023 study from Scholaroo ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor marks for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.

Additionally, WalletHub also claimed Arizona’s school system ranked among the worst across U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors’ credentials.
