Summary:
ZIP code 45106 in Bethel, Ohio, contains five schools — two elementary, one middle, and two high — enrolling about 1,742 students, with four schools in Bethel-Tate Local and one independent school, U S Grant, serving grades 6–12.
The academic standouts are Bethel-Tate Middle School and Bethel Tate High School. The middle school ranked 278th of 1,046 schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars) and scored above the state in every listed 2025–26 subject, including Math 6th grade at 72.8% versus the state's 56.2%. It also reported 100% proficient in Algebra I, though that likely reflects a small advanced cohort. The high school ranked 208th of 795 (74th percentile, 4 stars) with a 97.7% graduation rate, and scored well above the state in American Government (87.9%), American History (86.0%), Biology (84.9%), and English II (81.5%). Its math results were comparatively weaker: Geometry at 47.5% and Algebra I at 61.8%, below the district's 69.8%, which suggests a possible preparedness gap as students move up from middle school.
Hill Intermediate Elementary School is the clearest watch-list school, falling from the 58th to the 53rd to the 41st percentile over three years and dropping from 3 stars to 2, with most 2025–26 math and science scores below state averages. Bick Primary Elementary School serves PK–2 and has no test data. Chronic absenteeism is around 25% at both secondary Bethel-Tate schools, above the district's 22.1%, while Hill (18.2%) and Bick (19.2%) are below it. U S Grant has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 59.85% but no test scores, rank, or graduation data, leaving a real gap in the local picture.
