Data showed that Indian Creek Local School District welcomed 1,949 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Black students made up 4.6% of the student body, making them the second least represented ethnicity in the district.
Indian Creek Local School District roughly covers five schools within Jefferson County and has its main office in Wintersville.
Among the five schools in Indian Creek Local School District, Cross Creek Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 24 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.
