Boys made up 51.6% of the county's student body, while the other 48.4% were girls.
Data also showed that white, Non-Hispanic students made up 62.8% of the student body, the largest percentage in Lorain County schools, followed by Hispanic students with 18.1%, 9.3% Black, Non-Hispanic students, 7.7% multiracial students and 1.1% Asian or Pacific Islander students.
North Ridgeville Academic Center had the highest enrollment among Lorain County's 82 schools in the 2023-24 cycle, welcoming 1,861 students.
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.
