Summary

Hilltop Elementary School is a K–4 school in Canfield, Ohio, serving 476 students as part of Canfield Local, a district ranked 52nd of 773 in Ohio (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Hilltop itself ranked 254th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 84th percentile with 4 stars. That is a solid result, though the school sat closer to the district's top tier in earlier years, at the 89th–93rd percentile from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019.

On 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests, Hilltop scored well above state averages in every tested grade and subject—roughly 15 to 22 points higher. Still, it trailed the Canfield Local average in all four areas and was below C H Campbell Elementary School, its same-district K–4 peer, in all four as well. South Range Elementary School, in South Range Local, scored substantially higher across the board. Fourth-grade math is a clear strength: 89.0% proficiency in 2025–2026 and 94.0% the year before. Fourth-grade English language arts was the weakest result, at 77.0% versus 81.6% for the district and 86.1% for C H Campbell.

Attendance is the most dramatic recent improvement: chronic absenteeism fell to 7.6% in 2025–2026, well below the district's 13.2% and lower than most nearby schools, though it was 17.1% the prior year. Class size also improved, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.6—better than C H Campbell, South Range, and Austintown Intermediate School. Low-income students ranked in the 82nd percentile in 2025–2026, up sharply from the 64th–67th range, and special-education students reached the 89th percentile. Overall, Hilltop is a strong, well-above-average school whose main opportunities are sustaining the attendance gains and strengthening ELA.
