Data showed that Miami-Dade County welcomed a total of 335,085 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.7% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 507 schools in Miami-Dade County, Coral Reef Senior High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 111 students, making up 3.4% 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.
