There were 64,722 white students enrolled in DuPage County public schools in the 2024-25 school year, 1.7% less than the previous year, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Data showed that white students made up 48.2% of the 134,160 students during the 2024-25 school year. They were the most represented ethnicity in the county schools.

Among the 226 schools in DuPage County, York Community High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2024-25 school year, with a total of 1,762 students.

As of the 2024-25 school year, Illinois public schools served just under 1.85 million K-12 students statewide, continuing a slow decline in enrollment from previous years. During that same period, the state recorded a student-teacher ratio of about 17:1 as full-time equivalent teachers rose to a record 137,899.

K-12 enrollment has been declining in Illinois for many years, reflecting the state's demographic changes. Between the 2017-18 and 2024-25 school years, Illinois public school enrollment declined from approximately two million to 1.85 million students, a decrease of about 153,000 students or 7.6%.
