Toledo City School District had the highest enrollment among Lucas County districts, welcoming 21,163 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52.5% of them were boys, and 47.5% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Toledo City School District students was Black, with 46.5% of students identifying as Black.

Among the eight districts in Lucas County, Sylvania Schools ranked second in enrollment numbers with 7,702 students , while Washington Local School District welcomed 6,824 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Toledo City School District generally encompasses schools within Lucas County with its main office in Toledo.

In the previous school year, Toledo City School District also had the highest number of students among Lucas County districts.

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.
