There were 1,020 Latino students enrolled in Greenlee County schools in the 2021-22 school year, 2.9% more than the previous year, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Data showed that Greenlee County welcomed 1,859 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Latino students made up 54.9% of the student body, making them the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the five schools in Greenlee County, Metcalf Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Latino students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 453 Latino students.

In 2022 Arizona had roughly one teacher for every 19 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for 16 students. Teachers handling a higher number of students was found to have negative consequences for students' school performance.

A 2023 study from Scholaroo.com ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor markets for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.
