There were 33 Black students enrolled in Johnstown-Monroe Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, an increase from the 27 Black students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Johnstown-Monroe Local School District welcomed 1,617 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Black students made up 2% of the student body, making them the second least represented ethnicity in the district.

Johnstown-Monroe Local School District roughly covers three schools within Licking County and has its main office in Johnstown.

Among the three schools in Johnstown-Monroe Local School District, Johnstown Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 14 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.
