There were 97 Hispanic students enrolled in Ravenna City School District in the 2023-24 school year, an increase from the 77 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Ravenna City School District welcomed 1,939 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students made up 5% of the student body, making them the least represented ethnicity in the district.

Ravenna City School District roughly covers six schools within Portage County and has its main office in Ravenna.

Among the six schools in Ravenna City School District, Ravenna High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 27 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.
