There were 637 multiracial students enrolled in Navajo County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 22% increase over from the 522 multiracial 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, multiracial students made up 3.7% of the student body making them the fourth most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 47 schools in Navajo County, Winslow High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 57 students, making up 8.3% 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.

WalletHub claimed Arizona's school system ranked among the worst across U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors' credentials.

Some data provided by the Arizona Department of Education may be incomplete due to the Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
