Summary

Hillsdale 7-12 is a 360-student public junior and senior high school serving grades 7–12 in the rural Ashland County community of Jeromesville, Ohio, between Ashland and Wooster, and it is the secondary campus of the Hillsdale Local district. For 2025–26 it ranks 305th of 795 Ohio schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranks 222nd of 773 (71st percentile, 4 stars) — about nine percentile points higher than the building. That gap fits the school's recent arc: after climbing from the 45th percentile in 2016–17 to a peak of the 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2022–23, Hillsdale has slipped to 62nd in each of the last two years, a 16-point retreat from its high.

The school's best results are in specific subjects and with specific groups of students. American History proficiency is 90.5%, the highest of nine nearby schools compared here and far above the state's 73.2%. Algebra I (82.8%) and Biology (82.1%) also run well above state averages, and 8th-grade math (70.0%) leads the comparison schools that report it. Low-income students score at the 85th percentile with 4 stars — well above the school's own overall rank — and special education students (60th percentile) also outperform the school as a whole. The graduation rate is 100.0%, tied for the best locally, and chronic absenteeism, at 13.8%, is the lowest in the group (Lucas High School is 19.6%, Ashland High School 14.6%).

Two areas stand out as priorities. American Government proficiency is 62.9% — the lowest of all nine comparison schools and below the state's 71.6% — down from 81.1% three years earlier, even as American History held steady. Geometry (49.4%) and English II (68.4%) clear the state bar but land mid-pack locally, behind schools like Lucas High School and Northwestern High School. Absenteeism, though better than neighbors, now runs above the district's own 10.6% rate, a reversal from earlier years. Hillsdale also spends more per student ($13,808) and serves the lowest reported free/reduced-lunch share (36.1%) in its comparison group, yet its overall results are mid-pack — the recent slide is happening from a relatively well-resourced starting point.
