Ross Local School District will move students out of the Ross Intermediate School building next year as the district shifts grades and buildings to address falling enrollment and funding uncertainty.

According to District Superintendent Dr. Bill Rice, enrollment is down by about 400 students. Officials recently approved a realignment plan for the 2026-2027 school year to move students into different buildings.

"Nine years ago, we were at 2,800. Now, we're around 2,400. If you look at classes in the senior high building of 220 with elementary classes at 155, you'll continue to see that number getting smaller," Rice said.

Starting next school year, fifth graders will move to Ross Middle School , while fourth graders will attend Elda or Morgan elementary schools.
