Joseph Welty Middle School welcomed most of the eighth grade students in the county, registering 205 students.
Within Tuscarawas County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.
Statewide, Tuscarawas County ranked 25th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 14,107 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was also ranked 25th 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.
