There were 83 multiracial students enrolled in Indian Lake Schools in the 2023-24 school year, an increase from the 80 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Indian Lake Schools welcomed 1,364 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 6.1% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.

Indian Lake Schools roughly covers three schools within Logan County and has its main office in Lewistown.

Among the three schools in Indian Lake Schools, Indian Lake Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 40 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.
