There were 2,675 Hispanic or Latino students enrolled in Navajo County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 0.6% decrease from the 2,690 Hispanic or Latino students in the previous school year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Data showed that Navajo County welcomed 16,973 students at the time. Among them, Hispanic or Latino students made up 15.8% 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 2023-24 school year, with a total of 223 students, making up 27.5% 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.
