There were 1,250 Hispanic students enrolled in Humboldt County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 2.6% more 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, Hispanic students comprised 37.5% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 13 schools in Humboldt County, Albert M. Lowry High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 398 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.
