There were 91 Black students enrolled in Olmsted Falls City schools in the 2022-23 school year, a decrease from the 98 Black students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Olmsted Falls City welcomed 3,371 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Black students made up 2.7% of the student body, making them the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Olmsted Falls City roughly covers six schools within Cuyahoga County and has its main office in Olmsted Falls.

Among the six schools in Olmsted Falls City, Olmsted Falls High School and Olmsted Falls Middle School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 27 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.
