The majority of students in St. Johns County schools were white in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Of the 50,652 students attending St. Johns County schools, 70.0% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 12.5% of St. Johns County students.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most common ethnicity in St. Johns County, representing 68.2% of the student body.

Deaf High School (FSDB) had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, including 33.7% white students, 32.5% Hispanic students, 24.5% Black students, and 6.7% Asian students.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county increased by 4.4% 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.
