Olentangy Schools is the fourth largest school district in Ohio (by enrollment). Our
geographic area is over 95-square-miles and our population is multiplying; by the
2035-36 school year, we are expected to be approaching 30,000 students.

Schools to Accommodate Growth

Olentangy is currently experiencing rapid and accelerating enrollment growth—
which is not new to the district. Climbing enrollment has historically seen classroom additions and new buildings to meet growth. Preschool enrollment has increased 57% over the past decade, and elementary schools have added the equivalent of seven classrooms of students each year for the past ten years. For the 2025-26 school year, the current enrollment in grades 5–8 now exceeds grades 9–12. With new homes and roads already underway across the District, pressure on our schools will only continue to grow.
