There were 652 Black students enrolled in Oak Hills Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a 12.4% increase from the 580 Black students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Oak Hills Local School District welcomed 7,235 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Black students made up 9% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.

Oak Hills Local School District roughly covers nine schools within Hamilton County and has its main office in Cincinnati.

Among the nine schools in Oak Hills Local School District, Oak Hills High School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 176 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.
