There were 4,837 kindergarten students enrolled in Summit County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 6% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.
McDowell Early Learning School welcomed most of the kindergarten students in the county, registering 283 students.
Within Summit County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.
Statewide, Summit County ranked sixth in enrollment numbers, with a total of 67,454 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked sixth 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.
