Ashland City School District had the highest enrollment among Ashland County districts, welcoming 3,047 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.8% of them were boys, and 48.2% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 91.5% of Ashland City School District's total enrollment.

Among the five districts in Ashland County, Black River Local School District ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,029 students , while Loudonville-Perrysville Exempted Village School District welcomed 846 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Ashland City School District generally encompasses schools within Ashland County with its main office in Ashland.

In the previous school year, Ashland City School District also had the highest number of students among Ashland County districts.

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.
