Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 53.3% of them were boys, and 46.6% were girls.

Wellsville Local Schools roughly covers three schools within Columbiana County and has a main office in Wellsville.

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.
