Summary

Bethel High School is a public high school located in Tipp City, Ohio, serving 491 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Bethel Local District. The school has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.2% to 98.5%, and its students perform well on Ohio State Tests, exceeding state averages in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology.

While Bethel High School generally outperforms nearby schools like Fairborn High School, Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School, and Northridge High School in terms of test scores and graduation rates, it lags behind the high-performing Tippecanoe High School, which is part of the Tipp City Exempted Village district. Additionally, Bethel High School's per-student spending of $8,693 in 2018-2019 is lower than some nearby schools, which may contribute to the school's performance.

The school faces challenges in supporting certain student subgroups, such as white students and students with disabilities or low socioeconomic status. Furthermore, Bethel High School has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 43.3% in 2022-2023 to 68.84% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the needs of these subgroups and exploring best practices from high-performing schools in the area could help Bethel High School continue to improve and support all of its students.
