Toledo Reporter

There were 5,179 second grade students enrolled in Lucas County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 8% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Ohio Virtual Academy welcomed most of the second grade students in the county, registering 732 students.

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

Statewide, Lucas County ranked fifth in enrollment numbers, with a total of 69,955 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was ranked fourth 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.
