There were 3,202 white students enrolled in Northwest Local Schools in the 2022-23 school year, a decrease from the 3,325 white students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Northwest Local Schools welcomed 8,093 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students made up 39.6% of the student body, making them the most represented ethnicity in the district.

Northwest Local Schools roughly covers 12 schools within Hamilton County and has its main office in Cincinnati.

Among the 12 schools in Northwest Local Schools, Colerain High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 664 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.
