Wynford Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Crawford County schools, welcoming 606 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, 50.3% of them were girls, and 49.7% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 97.2% of Wynford Elementary School's total enrollment.

Among the 19 schools in Crawford County, Bucyrus Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 551 students, while Primary Elementary School welcomed 457 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Wynford Elementary School is part of Wynford Local, which generally encompasses schools within Crawford County, with its main office in Bucyrus.

In the previous school year, Wynford Elementary School still had the highest number of students among Crawford County schools.

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.
