South Palm Beach Today

The most represented ethnicity among Palm Beach County students was Hispanic, accounting for 37.5% of the student population, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Of the 193,352 students attending Palm Beach County schools, 37.5% were Hispanic. White students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 28.7% of Palm Beach County students.

In the previous school year, Hispanic students were also the most common ethnicity in Palm Beach County, representing 36.7% of the student body.

Potentials Charter School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, including 37% Black students.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county increased by 0.5% 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.
