Sidney City School District had the highest enrollment among Shelby County districts, welcoming 2,981 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 53% of them were boys, and 47% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 76.2% of Sidney City School District's total enrollment.

Among the eight districts in Shelby County, Anna Local School District ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,084 students , while Hardin-Houston Local School District welcomed 701 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Sidney City School District generally encompasses schools within Shelby County with its main office in Sidney.

In the previous school year, Sidney City School District also had the highest number of students among Shelby County districts.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is better than the national average of 1:16. This marks an improvement for the state, especially compared to 2016, when the ratio reached its decade-high at 16.1 students per teacher.

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.
