In 1830 Ohio had 937,903 citizens, of whom network was in place and the process of industrialization was well underway, 19.4%, or 517,909 people out of a total population of 2,665,260, lived in urban areas; there were 16 cities with over 8,000 population. By 1900 Ohio's total population was 4,157,545, with 1,599,840 (38.5%) in urban areas, and there were 38 cities of more than 8,000 population. By 1920, the trend to cities having continued, Ohio had a total population of 5,759,394, with 3,288,164 urban residents, 57.1% of the total, and there were 64 cities with greater than 8,000 slightly, but between 1910 and 1920 it decreased substantially as the cities drew an ever greater percentage of working people to industrial and other non-farm jobs.

(Clifton) By 1869 there were 198 such schools, a number that would increase to 836 by 1900 and to over 1,300 by the 1930s. From the late 19th century on, much state educational legislation was addressed to the matter of high schools.
The Boxwell law of1892, for example, also permitted students from districts with no high school to attend the high school of an adjoining district.

The law did not state how this was to be accomplished; it did not, for example, mandate construction of gymnasiums. By that time, however, physical education had come to be recognized as important, and many modern schools were being built with gymnasiums as part of their design.
In summary, the broad trends in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that impacted public schools, and especially public high schools, were these: 1) public schools served an Ohio legislature, responding to public pressures, passed various laws affecting school finance, organizational structure, curriculum content, and supervisory and decision-making authority, resulting in a formal, highly-structured legislative framework within which local school boards were to operate; 3) there was a move toward centralization of public education responsibilities at the county and the city level, with a move away from the more diffuse township system; 4) students not only from the immediate city but also from the surrounding rural areas and small vocational areas such as manual training, agriculture, and domestic science, along with dated to 1808, when the first school opened its doors.

Public high school education in Piqua dated to 1856.
