Of the 37,851 students attending Escambia County schools, 44.9% were white. Black students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 34.3% of Escambia County students.
In the previous school year, white students were also the most common ethnicity in Escambia County, representing 45.5% of the student body.
Navy Point Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, including 32.3% Black students, 26.7% white students, 26% Hispanic students, 10.2% multiracial students, and 2.3% Asian students.
In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county increased by 0.1% when compared to the previous year.
Florida's choice to stick with in-person classes during the pandemic may have shielded students from significant learning setbacks. A recent Harvard study highlighted that districts heavily reliant on remote learning saw the most significant declines in student achievement amid the COVID-19 crisis.
Interestingly, gaps in math achievement by race and school poverty did not widen in school districts in states such as Texas and Florida and elsewhere that remained largely in-person, said Thomas Kane, professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
