Steubenville City School District had the highest enrollment among Jefferson County districts, welcoming 2,791 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.6% of them were boys, and 49.4% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 59.2% of Steubenville City School District's total enrollment.

Among the five districts in Jefferson County, Indian Creek Local School District ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,978 students , while Buckeye Local and Edison Local School District welcomed 1,388 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Steubenville City School District generally encompasses schools within Jefferson County with its main office in Steubenville.

In the previous school year, Steubenville City School District also had the highest number of students among Jefferson County districts.

In 2022, Ohio saw an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:15, which is better than the national average of 1:16. This marks an improvement for the state, especially compared to 2016, when the ratio reached its decade-high at 16.1 students per teacher.

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.
