There were 7,864 first grade students enrolled in Hamilton County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 6.1% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.
Loveland Primary School welcomed most of the first grade students in the county, registering 310 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.
