East Central Ohio ESC

Headquartered at 834 E High Ave in New Philadelphia, Ohio, the East Central Ohio Educational Service Center functions as an active public educational service agency serving distant town communities within the broader New Philadelphia-Dover metropolitan region. Operating as a dedicated service organization rather than a traditional or charter school district with standalone primary or secondary campuses, the center focuses its direct academic programming specifically at the pre-kindergarten level. Community members, parents, and educational researchers can explore the center's specialized offerings and administrative resources directly through its official website at www.ecoesc.org or by contacting the administrative team at (330) 308-9939.

While direct student enrollment counts are centered around its partner districts rather than a traditional student body, the immense scope of the center’s regional operational footprint is demonstrated by its substantial workforce. The agency is supported by approximately 45 full-time equivalent teachers and 84 instructional aides dedicated to specialized learning environments. Furthermore, the district maintains an extensive support infrastructure powered by over 1,050 support staff members, bringing its total workforce to nearly 1,180 full-time equivalent personnel. This significant human resources network highlights the organization’s vital role in supplying specialized expertise, therapeutic services, and administrative leadership to schools throughout the region.
