There were 7,089 kindergarten students enrolled in Hamilton County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 2.2% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.
Early Childhood Center welcomed most of the kindergarten students in the county, registering 267 students.
Within Hamilton County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.
Statewide, Hamilton County ranked third in enrollment numbers, with a total of 105,189 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was also ranked third 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.
