There were 5,601 white students enrolled in Elko County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 2.8% less than the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Data showed that Elko County welcomed a total of 10,203 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, white students comprised 54.9% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 36 schools in Elko County, Spring Creek High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 718 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.
