There were 5,325 Asian students enrolled in Duval County schools in the 2023-24 school year, a 1.7% increase from the 5,236 Asian students in the previous school year, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Data showed that Duval County welcomed a total of 128,100 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 4.2% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 201 schools in Duval County, Stanton College Preparatory recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 464 students, making up 36.2% 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.
