There were 15 Hispanic students enrolled in Franklin Local Schools in the 2023-24 school year, an increase from the 13 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Franklin Local Schools welcomed 1,767 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students made up 0.8% of the student body, making them the second least represented ethnicity in the district.

Franklin Local Schools roughly covers seven schools within Muskingum County and has its main office in Duncan Falls.

Among the seven schools in Franklin Local Schools, Duncan Falls Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 12 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.
