There were 1,036 multiracial students enrolled in Elyria City Schools in the 2022-23 school year, an increase from the 993 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Elyria City Schools welcomed 5,717 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 18.1% of the student body, making them the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Elyria City Schools roughly covers 10 schools within Lorain County and has its main office in Elyria.

Among the 10 schools in Elyria City Schools, Elyria High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 276 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.
