There were 26 Black students enrolled in Humboldt County schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Data showed that Humboldt County welcomed a total of 3,297 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Black students comprised 0.8% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 13 schools in Humboldt County, Sonoma Heights Elementary recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 11 students.

Enrollment in Nevada has experienced a notable decline, falling nearly 2% over the last four years.

Meanwhile, Nevada has roughly one teacher for every 20 students, compared 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.
