There were 373 kindergarten students enrolled in Guernsey County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 13.7% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Cambridge Primary School welcomed most of the kindergarten students in the county, registering 161 students.

Within Guernsey County schools, the highest student count was found in first grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.

Statewide, Guernsey County ranked 71st in enrollment numbers, with a total of 4,327 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 71st the year before.

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.
