There were 110 American Indian or Alaskan Native students enrolled in Humboldt County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 18.5% less than the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Data showed that Humboldt County welcomed a total of 3,334 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, American Indian or Alaskan Native students comprised 3.3% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 13 schools in Humboldt County, McDermitt Elementary recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian or Alaskan Native students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 45 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.
