There were 4,549 multiracial students enrolled in Lucas County school districts in the 2022-23 school year, 0.5% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Lucas County school districts welcomed 49,392 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 9.2% of the student body to be the forth 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.
