There were 77 Hispanic students enrolled in Holgate Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 79 Hispanic students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Holgate Local School District roughly covers two schools within Henry County and has its main office in Holgate.

Among the two schools in Holgate Local School District, Holgate High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 45 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.
