Summary
Hilliard Davidson High School in Hilliard, OH, is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,847 students as part of the Hilliard City district, a suburban community near Columbus. In 2025–2026, it ranked 191st of 795 Ohio high schools, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars—above its district, which ranked 238th of 773 Ohio districts. The school has remained a 4-star school in recent years, with percentile ranks from 73 to 84 since 2015–2016, though its path has varied: 80th percentile in 2024–2025, 74th in 2023–2024, and 84th in 2022–2023.
Academically, the school outperformed the district and state in five of six End-of-Course subjects in 2025–2026. Its biggest advantages were in Geometry, Biology, American Government, English II, and American History. The clear weak spot is Algebra I: 57.6% proficient, below the district’s 74.6% and the state’s 61.6%, and lower than Hilliard Bradley High School and Hilliard Darby High School. Among Hilliard schools, it outranks Hilliard Online Academy and generally leads those same two high schools in most tested subjects, graduation, and attendance. Compared with nearby districts, Upper Arlington High School and Dublin Jerome High School score higher in most subjects, but they serve much lower free/reduced-lunch populations; the school has lower chronic absenteeism. Dublin Coffman High School and Dublin Scioto High School are mixed comparisons, while Centennial High School is far below the school across reported measures.
The school’s graduation rate is 96.5%, up from 88.7% in 2021–2022, and chronic absenteeism has improved from 23.2% to 14.8% over the same period. Its reported per-student spending was $11,156, the lowest among comparison schools with data, and its student–teacher ratio improved to 18.5 in 2024–2025. The main watch areas are academic and subgroup gaps: some student groups rank lower than the school overall, including low-income students at the 63rd percentile, and gifted and special education subgroup rankings have softened from prior highs. Families may want to ask how the school supports these groups and whether Algebra I instruction is changing.
