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[3] 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.[4]

The Olentangy district was graded an "A" overall by the Ohio Department of Education in the most recent (2018/19) ODE report card, earning three "A"s, two "B"s, and one "C".
