There were 947 first grade students enrolled in Columbiana County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.6% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Buckeye Elementary School welcomed most of the first grade students in the county, registering 147 students.

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

Statewide, Columbiana County ranked 29th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 13,015 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 28th 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.
