The majority of students in Wyoming County schools during the 2021-22 school year were white, according to the New York State Education Department.

Of the 4,310 students attending Wyoming County schools, 93.5% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 3.2% of Wyoming County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Wyoming County, representing 94.2% of the student body.

Warsaw Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 89.3% white students, 5.6% Hispanic students, 3.3% multiracial students, 1% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 0.5% Black students, and 0.3% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county dropped by 0.4% in the 2021-22 school 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. Persistent and substantial gaps were observed, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
