There were 158 multiracial students enrolled in Clark-Shawnee Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 166 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Clark-Shawnee Local School District welcomed 1,700 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 9.3% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.

Clark-Shawnee Local School District roughly covers two schools within Clark County and has its main office in Springfield.

Among the two schools in Clark-Shawnee Local School District, Shawnee Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 98 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.
