There were 131,859 white students enrolled in Nevada schools in the 2023-24 school year, 4.1% less than the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.
Data showed that Nevada welcomed a total of 479,578 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, white students comprised 27.5% of the total enrollment, to be the second most represented ethnic group in the state.
Among the 721 schools in Nevada, Coronado High School recorded the largest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 1,557 students.
Enrollment in Nevada public schools has dropped nearly nearly 2% in the last four years.
Nevertheless, Nevada has roughly one teacher for every 21 students, well above the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A higher student-to-teacher ratio has been found to negatively impact students’ school performance.
