There were 159 Hispanic students enrolled in Shelby County school districts in the 2022-23 school year, 6% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Shelby County school districts welcomed 7,485 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 2.1% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county's school districts.

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.
