Summary

Hillsdale Pk-6 is the elementary building for the Hillsdale Local district in Jeromesville, Ohio, serving 547 students in grades PK–6 in a small Ashland County community. It is the district's only tested elementary, so its Ohio State Test results are identical to the district's at every grade — yet its school ranking (76th percentile, 4 stars) sits slightly above the district's own. The school's history is a long recovery story: it peaked at the 86th percentile in 2016-17, dropped to 59th in 2018-19, then climbed steadily for six years before flattening at the 76th percentile for three years running.

Academically, Hillsdale beats the state on every single reported test in 2025-26, with math doing the heaviest lifting: 6th-grade math came in 24.4 points above the state and 4th-grade math 19.6 points above. Averaged across grades 3–6, the school runs roughly 18.5 points above Ohio in math and about 12.5 points above in English language arts. Science is the narrowest margin (5th grade, +7.1), making it the most obvious academic lever. Attendance is a genuine strength — chronic absenteeism of 8.3% is below the district's 10.6% and better than nearly every nearby school — though it has crept up from a 2023-24 low. Notably, the school performs above its own overall rank for its highest-need students: low-income students rank at the 83rd percentile and special education students at the 81st.

Among nearby schools, Hillsdale sits solidly in the upper third: behind Lucas Elementary School (92nd percentile) and Eastview Elementary School (89th), roughly level with Northwestern Elementary School, and ahead of Mapleton Elementary School, Mifflin Elementary School, Lakeville Elementary School, and Taft Intermediate School. Northwestern Elementary School is the closest match on student need, but its chronic absenteeism is 12.0% versus Hillsdale's 8.3% — a meaningful attendance edge. Overall: strong, stable, and still short of its own ceiling.
