Tuscarawas News

Dover High School had the highest enrollment among Tuscarawas County schools, welcoming 803 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, 52.3% of them were boys, and 47.7% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 78.5% of Dover High School's total enrollment.

Among the 41 schools in Tuscarawas County, New Philadelphia High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 732 students, while Joseph Welty Middle School welcomed 652 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Dover High School is part of Dover City, which generally encompasses schools within Tuscarawas County, with its main office in Dover.

In the previous school year, Dover High School still had the highest number of students among Tuscarawas 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.
