What stands out about Olentangy Local

  • It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 94% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +23.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Ohio's statewide +19.8% by 3.7 points, a growth rate faster than 69% of the 604 Ohio districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 7.8% here, from 21,591 students in FY2019 to 23,281 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
