Olentangy Local School District (Delaware County, Ohio)


The Olentangy Local School District is a large, rapidly growing school district centered in southern Delaware County, with a small, southern portion in Franklin County in the U.S. state of Ohio. The Olentangy Local School District comprises and serves students from all or parts of numerous municipalities, including the unincorporated community of Lewis Center and the cities of Columbus, Delaware, Powell, and Westerville. The district also serves students from Berkshire, Berlin, Concord, Genoa, Liberty, and Orange townships in Delaware and Franklin counties. As of 2020, it operates 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, and four high schools. Also, there is an online high school called OASIS for selected students at the OASIS headquarters, plus a school for STEM students.
Olentangy is the largest district in Delaware County. In 1998, the district had an enrollment of 4,812. The district ended the 2017/18 school year with 20,701 and was the 7th largest district in Ohio.
The 7.9 mill bond issue passed on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 and therefore made it possible for all co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to stay in the schools. Had the levy not passed, serious athletic,
extracurricular, co-curricular, and academic cuts would have been made. This issue is up for renewal on the March 17, 2020 ballot.
The Olentangy district was graded an "A" overall by the Ohio Department of Education in the most recent ODE report card, earning three "A"s, two "B"s, and one "C".
