There were 1,230 Hispanic students enrolled in Douglas County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 5.2% less than the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Data showed that Douglas County welcomed a total of 5,030 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 24.5% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Enrollment in Nevada public schools has dropped nearly 2% in the last four years.

Nevertheless, Nevada has roughly one teacher for every 21 students, well above to the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A higher student-to-teacher ratio has been found to negatively impact students' school performance.
