Boys made up 50.3% of the county's student body, while the other 49.7% were girls.

Portsmouth Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Scioto County's 30 schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 808 students.
In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is an improvement for the state and is lower than the national average of 1:16.
Despite the apparent improvement, this positive trend is overshadowed by a general decline in public school enrollments, which was accelerated by the pandemic. This decline, aligned with the steady number of teachers in the state over the last 10 years, has led to low student-to-teacher ratios.
