There were 334 white students enrolled in Jennings Local School District in the 2023-24 school year, a decrease from the 342 white students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Jennings Local School District welcomed 339 students during the 2023-24 school year, all of whom identified as white.

Jennings Local School District roughly covers two schools within Putnam County and has its main office in Fort Jennings.

Among the two schools in Jennings Local School District, Fort Jennings High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 170 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.
