Data showed that Shelby County welcomed 7,205 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, non-Hispanic Black students comprised 1.7% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 21 schools in Shelby County, Sidney High School recorded the highest enrollment of non-Hispanic Black students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 44 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.
