There were 1,393 multiracial students enrolled in Olentangy Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a 5.6% increase from the 1,319 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Olentangy Local School District welcomed 22,979 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 6.1% of the student body, making them the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Olentangy Local School District roughly covers 27 schools within Delaware County and has its main office in Lewis Center.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is better than the national average of 1:16. This marks an improvement for the state, especially compared to 2016, when the ratio reached its decade-high at 16.1 students per teacher.

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.
