The Olentangy Local School District is a large, rapidly growing school district centered in southern Delaware County, with a small, southern portion (one cul-de-sac) in Franklin County in the U.S. state of Ohio. The Olentangy Local School District comprises 95 square miles (250 km2) 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 County.
As of February 2026, it operates 17 elementary schools, six middle schools, and four high schools. Making a total of 27 schools. There is also an Olentangy Academy building that is home to the district's STEM Academy, Teacher Academy, and Academy for Community Transition (ACT). In addition, OASIS is offered as an online school for select students.
Olentangy is the largest district in Delaware County. In 1998, the district had an enrollment of 4,812. By winter of 2025, it has grown to over 24,000 students - the fourth largest district in Ohio, behind only Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati. In Fall 2025, Olentangy reported that it is experiencing rapid and accelerating enrollment growth— which is not new to the district. Climbing enrollment has historically seen classroom additions and new buildings to meet growth. Preschool enrollment has increased 57% over the past decade, and elementary schools have added the equivalent of seven classrooms of students each year for the past ten years. For the 2025-26 school year, the current enrollment in grades 5–8 now exceeds grades 9–12. With new homes and roads already underway across the District, pressure on our schools will only continue to grow. Fall 2025 enrollment projections demonstrate a 16% increase over the next two years, with student enrollment surpassing 28,300 by the 2035-36 school year.
The no new millage bond passed in November 2025 will build an 18th elementary school and a 5th high school.
