Bryan Middle School/High School had the highest enrollment among Williams County schools, welcoming 920 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, 52% of them were girls, and 47.9% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 85.2% of Bryan Middle School/High School's total enrollment.

Among the 14 schools in Williams County, Bryan Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 882 students, while Montpelier Elementary School welcomed 458 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Bryan Middle School/High School is part of Bryan City, which generally encompasses schools within Williams County, with its main office in Bryan.

In the previous school year, Bryan Middle School/High School still had the highest number of students among Williams 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.
