Fordham Institute’s Ohio Education by the Numbers. This guidebook offers policymakers, journalists, and civic and business leaders easy-to-use statistics—sans commentary—about Ohio’s K-12 schools and the students they serve. This edition includes the most recent data available through December 2025, which is primarily data from the 2024-25 school year.  \nThe following tables and charts describe education in Ohio at a high level—they are not an evaluation of state policies or school practices. Nevertheless, a basic understanding of trends, as well as the current status of K-12 education, can help us make more informed decisions about ways to improve education for Ohio students.  \nWe wish to thank our Fordham colleagues who contributed their time and talents to this endeavor, including Jeff Murray and Jessica Poiner. Special thanks to Stephanie Henry who designed the publication.  \nPlease feel free to contact us if you have questions or feedback.
