The most represented ethnicity among Broward County students was Black, accounting for 38.1% of the student population, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Of the 254,732 students attending Broward County schools, 38.1% were Black. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 38% of Broward County students.

In the previous school year, Black students were also the most common ethnicity in Broward County, representing 38.9% of the student body.

College Academy at Broward College had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, including 36.2% Hispanic students, 24.8% white students, 23.2% Black students, 11.6% Asian students, and 3.6% multiracial students.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county dropped 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.
