There were 1,085 ninth grade students enrolled in Union County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 1.4% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Dublin Jerome High School welcomed most of the ninth grade students in the county, registering 476 students.

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

Statewide, Union County ranked 32nd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 11,650 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 32nd 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.
