Data showed that Allen County welcomed 13,500 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, non-Hispanic white students comprised 67.8% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the 34 schools in Allen County, Elida Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of non-Hispanic white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 659 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.
