There were 550 sixth grade students enrolled in Shelby County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 10.6% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Sidney Middle School welcomed most of the sixth grade students in the county, registering 193 students.

Within Shelby County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in pre-kindergarten.

Statewide, Shelby County ranked 47th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 7,205 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 45th 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.
