There were 1,526 10th grade students enrolled in Richland County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.2% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Madison High School welcomed most of the 10th grade students in the county, registering 247 students.

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

Statewide, Richland County ranked 23rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 17,445 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 23rd 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.
