There were 94,414 Hispanic students enrolled in Orange County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 0.8% increase from the 93,645 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Data showed that Orange County welcomed a total of 214,773 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 44% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 268 schools in Orange County, Lake Nona High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 2,768 students, making up 60.9% 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.
