The most represented ethnicity among Seminole County district's students was white, accounting for 43% of the student population, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Of the 66,680 students attending Seminole County district schools, 43.0% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity in Seminole County district (31.1%).

In the previous school year, white students were also the most common group in Seminole County district, representing 44.6% of the student body.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county dropped 0.1% 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.
