There were 178 multiracial students enrolled in Northridge Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a 5.3% increase from the 169 multiracial students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Northridge Local School District welcomed 1,649 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 10.8% of the student body, making them the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Northridge Local School District roughly covers four schools within Montgomery County and has its main office in Dayton.

Among the four schools in Northridge Local School District, Northridge Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 96 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.
