There were 36 Asian or Pacific Islander students enrolled in Springfield Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 48 Asian or Pacific Islander students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Springfield Local School District welcomed 3,249 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian or Pacific Islander students made up 1.1% of the student body, making them the least represented ethnicity in the district.

Springfield Local School District roughly covers six schools within Lucas County and has its main office in Holland.

Among the six schools in Springfield Local School District, Springfield High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian or Pacific Islander students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 14 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.
