There were 27 Pacific Islander students enrolled in Navajo County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 22.9% decrease from the 35 Pacific Islander 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, Pacific Islander students made up 0.2% of the student body making them the least represented ethnicity in the county.

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 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.

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