Of the 1,491,469 students enrolled in Ohio schools during the 2022-23 school year, 7.3% identified as Hispanic, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

This equals 108,958 students in the year, which is an increase over the year before.

In Ohio, white was the most common ethnicity found in schools, representing 68.6% of the student body.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is an improvement for the state and is lower than the national average of 1:16.

Despite the apparent improvement, this positive trend is overshadowed by a general decline in public school enrollments, which was accelerated by the pandemic. This decline, aligned with the steady number of teachers in the state over the last 10 years, has led to low student-to-teacher ratios.
