Giving children an excellent K-12 education has long been a top priority for Ohioans. That’s no different today, but educational issues loom even larger after the pandemic-related disruptions of the past two years. To guide productive conversations about improving education, clear and accessible data are key. In that light, we are pleased to present Ohio Education by the Numbers. Now in its fifth edition and updated for 2022, this publication contains data that shed light on the trends and present needs of students, as well as the investments that Ohioans have made to ensure that all children have opportunities to achieve their dreams.  

Whether you’re a lawmaker, reporter, community or business leader, or a parent or grandparent, this booklet is designed for you. As a readily accessible resource, we hope you’ll find it to be a go-to guide as you discuss education in your community.

You can download a PDF version of the booklet using the link to the right and view these data online at our companion webpage, www.OhioByTheNumbers.com.
