There were 2,810 students enrolled in Carroll County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 3.6% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Girls made up 50.1% of the county's student body, while the other 49.9% were boys.

Data also showed that white, Non-Hispanic students made up 93.8% of the student body, the largest percentage in Carroll County schools, followed by Hispanic students with 2.4% and 2.3% multiracial students.

Carrollton High School-Carrollton Middle School had the highest enrollment among Carroll County's seven schools in the 2023-24 cycle, welcoming 948 students.

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.
