There were 147 multiracial students enrolled in Brown County school districts in the 2022-23 school year, 5.8% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Brown County school districts welcomed 6,126 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 2.4% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county's school districts.

Among the five school districts in Brown County, Western Brown Local Schools recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 73 students.

The main offices of all school districts mentioned in the story are located in cities associated with Brown County.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is an improvement for the state and is lower than the national average of 1:16.

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.
