Wellston Intermediate School welcomed most of the fourth grade students in the county, registering 94 students.
Within Jackson County schools, the highest student count was found in fifth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 11th grade.
Statewide, Jackson County ranked 68th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 4,552 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was also ranked 68th 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.
