There were 36,589 multiracial students enrolled in Nevada schools in the 2023-24 school year, 1% more 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, multiracial students comprised 7.6% of the total enrollment, to be the fourth most represented ethnic group in the state.

Among the 721 schools in Nevada, Liberty High School recorded the largest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 433 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.
