The majority of students in Steuben County schools during the 2021-22 school year were white, according to the New York State Education Department.

Of the 13,285 students attending Steuben County schools, 90.9% were white. Multiracial students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 3.4% of Steuben County students.

In the previous school year, white was also the most common student ethnicity in Steuben County, representing 88.4% of the student body.

Erwin Valley Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among county schools, with 72.9% white students, 12.8% Asian or Pacific Islander students, 7.5% multiracial students, 3.8% Hispanic students, 2.8% Black students, and 0.3% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

Compared to the previous year, total enrollment in public schools in the county increased by 2.9% in the 2021-22 school year.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to help improve students' school performance.

A 2021 report from the NYC Center for Innovation Through Data Intelligence revealed racial and gender groups were seeing better outcomes compared to 2013, though significant disparities remained between different groups. Persistent and substantial gaps were observed, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
