There were 41 Hispanic students enrolled in Wayne Local Schools in the 2022-23 school year, a decrease from the 44 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Wayne Local Schools welcomed 1,515 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students made up 2.7% of the student body, making them the second least represented ethnicity in the district.

Wayne Local Schools roughly covers three schools within Warren County and has its main office in Waynesville.

Among the three schools in Wayne Local Schools, Waynesville Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 25 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.
