Summary

Hilliard Online Academy is a small, alternative high school in the Hilliard City district, serving 92 students in grades 9-12 with a fully online learning environment.

This school stands apart from its district peers due to significant challenges with student engagement and retention. The graduation rate is critically low at 60.5%, compared to the district average of 92.7% and rates above 93% at nearby Hilliard Bradley High School, Hilliard Darby High School, and Hilliard Davidson High School. Chronic absenteeism affects 71.9% of students—over five times the district rate of 12.8% and the highest among all nearby schools. While the school shows some academic strengths, with English II proficiency matching the state average at 60% and American Government at 61.1%, math performance is a major concern: Geometry proficiency is just 10%, compared to the district average of 60.8%.

Compared to a similar online program, Upper Arlington Online Academy, Hilliard Online Academy faces much steeper hurdles. Upper Arlington's graduation rate is 93.3% and its chronic absenteeism is 41.7%, both far better than Hilliard's figures. This suggests Hilliard Online Academy serves a higher-needs student population, likely including those who have struggled in traditional school settings. The school's performance also fluctuates significantly year to year due to its small size, where a handful of students can shift percentages dramatically. For parents considering this option, it is essential to understand that this is a specialized alternative program focused on re-engaging students who need a different path to graduation, but its overall effectiveness remains a serious concern.
