There were 503 ninth grade students enrolled in Defiance County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 7.4% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Defiance High School welcomed most of the ninth grade students in the county, registering 200 students.

Within Defiance County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.

Statewide, Defiance County ranked 58th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 5,772 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 59th 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.
