There were 176,825 students enrolled in Franklin County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 0.1% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.
Boys made up 51.3% of the county’s student body, while the other 48.7% were girls.
Data also showed that white, Non-Hispanic students made up 40.6% of the student body, the largest percentage in Franklin County schools, followed by Black, Non-Hispanic students with 33%, 13.8% Hispanic students, 7.2% multiracial students, 4.5% Asian or Pacific Islander students and less than 0.1% American Indian or Alaskan Native students.
Lincoln High School had the highest enrollment among Franklin County’s 348 schools in the 2023-24 cycle, welcoming 2,379 students.
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.
