Central Intermediate School welcomed most of the fifth grade students in the county, registering 300 students.

Statewide, Medina County ranked 18th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 24,113 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 18th 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.
