Van Wert High School welcomed most of the 12th grade students in the county, registering 130 students.
Within Van Wert County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.
Statewide, Van Wert County ranked 73rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 4,189 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was also ranked 73rd 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.
