Paulding Middle School welcomed most of the sixth grade students in the county, registering 72 students.
Within Paulding County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.
Statewide, Paulding County ranked 83rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 2,885 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 82nd 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.
