Financial Fact Friday! One statewide number that puts our situation in context: Ohio ranks 45th among all states in per-pupil state funding for K-12 schools, down from 35th two decades ago.
Ohio's per-pupil state funding sits around $13,082, compared with a national average of about $18,870 per student for the 2025-26 school year, according to the National Education Associationâs (NEA) Rankings & Estimates report.
Nationally, states cover close to 45% of public education costs on average; Ohio's state share has fallen well below that.
This isn't unique to Richmond Heights. It's a statewide pattern affecting nearly every Ohio district.

WE DID IT!đââď¸đđ¤ SPARTAN PRIDE! SHINED AT THE Division 4 REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS đ¤đđââď¸
Richmond Heights Cross Country ended its season Saturday at the Division 4 Regional Championships held at Boardman High School. They were led by Sophomore Nicholas McWilliams, who finished 40th overall out of the 180 runners.
The three seniors: Justin Rivera, Drew McSears, and Steeven Chim all improved their times from districts, with Drew and Steeven recording lifetime personal records.
These 4 runners are now 2-time Regional Qualifiers and improved their overall time from last year's Regional race by 3 minutes and 51 seconds.
This past week, Nicholas and Justin were awarded All-Conference in the CVC, with Drew and Steeven earning honorable mentions for the conference. To top that off, all 4 runners also earned Academic All-Conference awards in the CVC for maintaining a GPA above 3.25 while competing as varsity athletes.
When you see these four gentlemen, please tell them congratulations; they have represented Spartan Nation very well. Great job, Nick, Justin, Drew, and Steeven!

Understanding how school funding works in Ohio can be confusing because not all school dollars can be used for the same purpose.
Learn more about how Ohioâs school funding works at our Aug. 24 board meeting.
Some funding supports the day-to-day operation of our schools, including transportation, staffing, classroom instruction and extracurricular programs. Other funding is legally restricted to permanent facility improvements, such as buildings, athletic facilities and other capital projects.
As Richmond Heights Local Schools begins a new school year with several important initiatives underway, we want to help our community better understand how different funding sources work and how they may legally be used.
Take a look at the graphic below to learn more about the difference between operating funds and capital funds.
