There were 783 kindergarten students enrolled in Ross County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 1.3% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Chillicothe Primary School welcomed most of the kindergarten students in the county, registering 203 students.

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

Statewide, Ross County ranked 36th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 9,786 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 37th 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.
