There were 227 multiracial students enrolled in Wilmington City schools in the 2022-23 school year, a decrease from the 237 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Wilmington City welcomed 2,185 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 10.4% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.

Wilmington City roughly covers five schools within Clinton County and has its main office in Wilmington.

Among the five schools in Wilmington City, Roy E. Holmes Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 68 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.
