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

Of the 5,866 students attending Allegany County schools, 94.3% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 1.9% of Allegany County students.

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

Fillmore Central School, Genesee Valley Central School, and Wellsville Secondary School had the most diverse student body in Allegany County, with white, Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and multiracial.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county increased by 0% 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.
