Of the 1,115,160 students enrolled in Arizona schools during the 2023-24 school year, 33.9% identified as white, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

This equates to 377,615 white students at the time, which is a decrease from the previous year's total of 393,044.

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.
