Data showed that Berne Union Local School District welcomed 816 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, multiracial students made up 4.2% of the student body, making them the second most represented ethnicity in the district.
Berne Union Local School District roughly covers two schools within Fairfield County and has its main office in Sugar Grove.
Among the two schools in Berne Union Local School District, Berne Union Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 21 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.
