There were 93 multiracial students enrolled in Franklin County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 7% less than the previous year, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Data showed that multiracial students made up 1.7% of the 5,503 students during the 2023-24 school year. They were the second most represented ethnicity in the county schools.

Among the 19 schools in Franklin County, Benton Consolidated High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 30 students.
