In the 2022-23 school year, 50.7% of students enrolled in Ross County schools were male, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

There were 9,781 students in the halls of Ross County schools, comprised of 4,956 male students (50.7%) and 4,825 female pupils (49.3%).

During the previous school year, Ross County’s student body consisted of 50.5% male and 49.5% female.

Across the state, 51.2% of students were male and 48.8% were female.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is better than the national average of 1:16. This marks an improvement for the state, especially compared to 2016, when the ratio reached its decade-high at 16.1 students per teacher.

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.
