There were 1,496 fourth grade students enrolled in Clark County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 6.2% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Indian Valley Intermediate School, Shawnee Elementary School and New Carlisle Elementary School welcomed most of the fourth grade students in the county, registering 133 students each.

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

Statewide, Clark County ranked 21st in enrollment numbers, with a total of 18,817 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 21st 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.
