There were 26 Hispanic students enrolled in Western Brown Local Schools in the 2022-23 school year, an increase from the 25 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Western Brown Local Schools welcomed 2,697 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students made up 1% of the student body, making them the least represented ethnicity in the district.

Western Brown Local Schools roughly covers four schools within Brown County and has its main office in Mount Orab.

Among the four schools in Western Brown Local Schools, Western Brown High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 10 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.
