There were 468 white students enrolled in Painesville City Local Schools in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 485 white students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Painesville City Local Schools welcomed 2,631 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, white students made up 17.8% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.

Painesville City Local Schools roughly covers seven schools within Lake County and has its main office in Painesville.

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.
