Ohio CCSD 17

Ohio Community Consolidated School District 17 (Ohio CCSD 17) is an active, traditional public school district headquartered at 103 S Memorial St in Ohio, Illinois. Nestled in a rural remote setting within the broader Ottawa geographic area, this single-school district provides comprehensive educational programming for children from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Operating as a regular public school district outside of a charter system or supervisory union, Ohio CCSD 17 focuses on delivering a foundational early childhood and elementary-through-middle-school experience designed to serve the primary needs of its local community.

According to the 2024–2025 National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) dataset, the district maintains a compact student body of 85 enrolled pupils, ranging from 11 pre-kindergarteners to 5 eighth-graders, with a gender balance of 45 female and 40 male students. What distinguishes Ohio CCSD 17 is its significant instructional investment relative to its student body size; the district employs 38 total full-time equivalent staff members, which includes 25 dedicated teachers, 1 instructional aide, and 12 support personnel. This generous staffing context offers researchers an example of a small-scale rural district capable of delivering exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratios, personalized academic attention, and strong community-focused student support services.
