There were 5,803 white students enrolled in Navajo County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 6.8% decrease from the 6,227 white 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, white students made up 34.2% of the student body making them the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 47 schools in Navajo County, Snowflake High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 730 students, making up 79.2% 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.

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