Delaware County Review

There were 4,883 Asian or Pacific Islander students enrolled in Delaware County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 5.5% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Delaware County welcomed 40,756 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian or Pacific Islander students comprised 12% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 53 schools in Delaware County, Olentangy High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian or Pacific Islander students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 331 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.
