Summary

Hilltop High School is a small public school in West Unity, Ohio, serving grades 7–12 with 207 students as part of the Millcreek-West Unity Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 260th of 795 Ohio high schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), while the district placed 316th of 773 (59th percentile). Its recent history has been uneven: the school reached the 86th percentile in 2021–2022, dropped to the 56th percentile in 2023–2024, then recovered to the 67th percentile.

American History is the clearest strength: 94.4% of students scored proficient, well above the state's 73.2% and higher than every nearby tested school, including Fairview High School (92.3%), Pettisville High School (91.2%), and Archbold High School (90.7%). Algebra I, Biology, English II, and Government also beat state averages. Graduation rates are strong at 93.3% in 2025–2026, following 100.0%, 97.1%, 95.7%, and 95.6%. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 25.0% to 16.9%, though it remains above the district's 10.6%. Notably, 98.55% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, among the highest locally, and the school spends $11,429 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6.

Geometry is the biggest academic concern at 32.6% proficient, below the state's 43.3% and down from 48.5%. Eighth-grade ELA (48.7%) and Science (56.4%) also fell below state averages (58.3% and 61.2%). Because cohorts are small, single-year swings are common. Overall, Hilltop trails Fairview High School, Pettisville High School, and Archbold High School, sits near Stryker High School and Edon High School, and generally leads Bryan Middle School/High School, Fayette Junior/Senior High School, North Central Junior/High School, and Montpelier High School. Subgroup results are encouraging: special education students ranked in the 95th percentile in 2024–2025, and low-SES students improved to the 82nd percentile.
