There were 5,453 Asian students enrolled in Palm Beach County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 3.8% decrease from the 5,669 Asian students in the previous school year, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Data showed that Palm Beach County welcomed a total of 189,497 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 2.9% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 229 schools in Palm Beach County, Suncoast Community High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 254 students, making up 16.1% of the school's total student body.

Gov. DeSantis has approved an education budget of over $28 billion for the 2024-25 school year. The new budget includes more than $1 billion earmarked exclusively for teacher salaries to better address the teacher shortage the state faces.

A 2024 WalletHub study ranked Florida 49th in the nation for teacher salaries when adjusted for cost of living, making it one of the lowest in the U.S.
