There were 2,690 Hispanic or Latino students enrolled in Navajo County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 7.4% increase over from the 2,504 Hispanic or Latino students in the previous school year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Data showed that Navajo County welcomed 17,416 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic or Latino students made up 15.4% of the student body making them the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 47 schools in Navajo County, Blue Ridge Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic or Latino students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 231 students, making up 28.2% 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.
