Cheshire Elementary School welcomed most of the first grade students in the county, registering 157 students.
Within Delaware County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.
Statewide, Delaware County ranked ninth in enrollment numbers, with a total of 40,756 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was ranked 10th 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.
