There were 62 Black students enrolled in Wilmington City schools in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 71 Black students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Wilmington City welcomed 2,081 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Black students made up 3% of the student body, making them the second least 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, Wilmington High School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 22 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.
