Among the 22 school districts in Hamilton County, Cincinnati Public Schools recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 3,782 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.
