Among the many ethnicities represented in Darke County schools, non-Hispanic white was the most prevalent among the county students in the 2022-23 school year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Of the 7,627 students attending Darke County schools, 94.4% were non-Hispanic white. Hispanic students were the second most common ethnicity, making up 1.8% of Darke County student body.

In the previous school year, non-Hispanic white students were also the most common group in Darke County, representing 94.8% of the student body.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county dropped 1.5% when compared to the previous year.

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.
