There were 581 eighth grade students enrolled in Fulton County schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number from the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Wauseon Middle School welcomed most of the eighth grade students in the county, registering 149 students.

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

Statewide, Fulton County ranked 49th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 7,095 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 49th 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.
