There were 57 Hispanic students enrolled in Storey County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 1.8% more than the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Data showed that Storey County welcomed a total of 400 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 14.2% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Storey County, Virginia City High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 19 students.

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.
