298 students were enrolled for seventh grade in Henry County schools in 2023-24 school year

There were 298 seventh grade students enrolled in Henry County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 1% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Napoleon Junior/Senior High School welcomed most of the seventh grade students in the county, registering 130 students.

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

Statewide, Henry County ranked 75th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 3,944 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was also ranked 75th 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.
