There were 3,889 white students enrolled in Yuma County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 4.4% decrease from the 4,069 white students in the previous school year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Data showed that Yuma County welcomed 37,966 students at the time. Among them, white students made up 10.2% of the student body making them the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 62 schools in Yuma County, Gila Ridge High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 651 students, making up 27.8% 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.
