There were 361 sixth grade students enrolled in Williams County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 9.1% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Bryan Middle School/High School welcomed most of the sixth grade students in the county, registering 122 students.

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

Statewide, Williams County ranked 65th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 5,048 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 65th 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.
