Public Grades

Summary

Hillsdale Middle School is a public middle school located in Jeromesville, Ohio, serving 248 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Hillsdale Local District, which is ranked 212 out of 835 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hillsdale Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and local district averages in subjects like science, math, and English language arts. For example, in 2022-2023, 72% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school also has an exceptional performance in Algebra I, with 100% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 53%. While Hillsdale Middle School maintains a solid 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from the top 25% in 2018-2019 to the top 35-40% in recent years, indicating a need to re-evaluate strategies to maintain its competitive edge.

Compared to nearby schools, Hillsdale Middle School performs well, with schools like Black River Education Center Middle School, Triway Middle School, and Ashland Middle School also demonstrating strong academic achievement. However, Hillsdale Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.76%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, which may be an interesting demographic factor to consider. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.6% in 2020-2021 to 14.0% in 2022-2023, an area that the school may need to address.
