There were 11,815 students enrolled in Ashtabula County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.7% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Boys made up 51.2% of the county's student body, while the other 48.8% were girls.

Data also showed that white, Non-Hispanic students made up 81.2% of the student body, the largest percentage in Ashtabula County schools, followed by Hispanic students with 8.4%, 7% multiracial students and 1.8% Black, Non-Hispanic students.

Lakeside High School had the highest enrollment among Ashtabula County's 31 schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 846 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.
