There were 74 Hispanic students enrolled in Bath Local Schools in the 2023-24 school year, an increase from the 65 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Bath Local Schools welcomed 1,583 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students made up 4.7% of the student body, making them the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Bath Local Schools roughly covers four schools within Allen County and has its main office in Lima.

Among the four schools in Bath Local Schools, Bath Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 34 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.
