There were 12 multiracial students enrolled in Storey County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 55.6% less 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, multiracial students comprised 3% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Storey County, Hugh Gallagher Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 12 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.
