There were 296 third grade students enrolled in Holmes County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 7.2% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Millersburg Elementary School welcomed most of the third grade students in the county, registering 77 students.

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

Statewide, Holmes County ranked 79th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 3,376 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 79th 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.
