Of the many ethnicities represented in New York schools, the most prevalent ethnicity among students enrolled in Richmond schools in the 2022-23 school year were white, according to New York State Education Department.

Of the 58,871 students attending Richmond County schools, 39.1% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 29.5% of Richmond County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Richmond County, representing 41.2% of the student body.

P.S. 373 had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 27.9% Hispanic students, 27% white students, 23.8% Black students, 15.1% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 5.5% multiracial students, and 0.6% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county dropped to 1% when compared to the previous year.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to help improve students' school performance.

A 2021 report from the NYC Center for Innovation Through Data Intelligence revealed racial and gender groups were seeing better outcomes compared to 2013, though significant disparities remained between different groups, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
