There were 230 Asian or Pacific Islander students enrolled in Jackson Local Schools in the 2022-23 school year, a decrease from the 241 Asian or Pacific Islander students in the previous school year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Data showed that Jackson Local Schools welcomed 5,892 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian or Pacific Islander students made up 3.9% of the student body, making them the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Jackson Local Schools roughly covers six schools within Stark County and has its main office in Massillon.

Among the six schools in Jackson Local Schools, Jackson High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian or Pacific Islander students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 84 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.
