Data showed that Pinal County welcomed 55,459 students at the time. Among them, white students made up 33.1% of the student body making them the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 92 schools in Pinal County, Eduprize School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 1,103 students, making up 63.1% of the school's total student body.

In 2022 Arizona had roughly one teacher for every 19 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for 16 students. Teachers handling a higher number of students was found to have negative consequences for students' school performance.

A 2023 study from Scholaroo ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor markets for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.
