There were 323 Hispanic students enrolled in Norwalk City School District in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 329 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Norwalk City School District welcomed 2,435 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students made up 13.3% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.

Norwalk City School District roughly covers six schools within Huron County and has its main office in Norwalk.

Among the six schools in Norwalk City School District, Norwalk High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 99 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.
