There were 1,738 white students enrolled in Apache County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 0.2% decrease from from the 1,741 white students in the previous school year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Data showed that Apache County welcomed 9,949 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students made up 17.5% of the student body making them the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 35 schools in Apache County, Round Valley Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 339 students, making up 68.6% 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.com 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.
