There were 987 eighth grade students enrolled in Muskingum County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 6.3% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Zanesville Middle School welcomed most of the eighth grade students in the county, registering 228 students.

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

Statewide, Muskingum County ranked 28th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 13,233 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 29th 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.
