Data showed that Washington County welcomed 6,979 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian or Pacific Islander students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.

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.
