There were 5,892 students enrolled in Jackson Local Schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.5% more than the previous year, according to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.5% of them were boys, and 48.5% were girls.

Data also shows that most of the students were white, representing 83.7% of the Jackson Local Schools total enrollment.

Jackson Local Schools roughly covers six schools within Stark County and has a main office in Massillon.

Among the six schools in Jackson Local Schools, Jackson High School recorded the highest enrollment of 1927 students in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
