There were 682 multiracial students enrolled in Navajo County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 7.1% increase over the 637 multiracial 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, multiracial students made up 4% 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 2023-24 school year, with a total of 72 students, making up 10.7% 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.

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.
