There were 51 Asian or Pacific Islander students enrolled in Bethel Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, an increase from the 33 Asian or Pacific Islander students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Bethel Local School District welcomed 1,907 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian or Pacific Islander students made up 2.7% of the student body, making them the least represented ethnicity in the district.

Bethel Local School District roughly covers three schools within Miami County and has its main office in Tipp City.

Among the three schools in Bethel Local School District, Bethel Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian or Pacific Islander students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 31 students.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is better than the national average of 1:16. This marks an improvement for the state, especially compared to 2016, when the ratio reached its decade-high at 16.1 students per teacher.

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.
