Summary:
Bethel-Tate Local serves roughly 1,346 students across four schools spanning preschool through 12th grade: Bick Primary Elementary School (PK–2), Hill Intermediate Elementary School (3–5), Bethel-Tate Middle School (6–8), and Bethel Tate High School (9–12). Bethel-Tate Local ranks 275th of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 64th percentile with 3 stars — above the state median, but not in the top quarter.
That district-wide figure hides two very different stories. The middle and high schools are the standouts, both at about the 73rd–74th percentile with 4 stars. Bethel-Tate Middle School scored above the state average in every tested subject, with Algebra I at 100% and 8th grade math at 70.6% versus the state's 52%. Bethel Tate High School graduates 97.7% of students and is strong in government, history, biology, and English II, though math lags: Geometry is 47.5% versus 43.3% statewide, and Algebra I fell from 72.2% to 61.8%, barely above the state's 61.6%. Both schools have slipped in rank over three years.
Hill Intermediate Elementary School is the clearest concern, falling from the 58th to the 41st percentile and losing a star, with most 2025–26 scores below state averages. Bick Primary Elementary School has no state test data because it serves PK–2, but its chronic absenteeism (19.2%) is the lowest in the district and its per-student spending ($8,629) the highest. Absenteeism is noticeably higher in the upper grades (25.3% and 25.4%) than in the elementaries (18.2% and 19.2%).
