Summary:
The Millcreek-West Unity Local school district in Ohio has only one elementary school, Hilltop Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, its performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 499 out of 1,588 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 861 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, accompanied by a drop in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.
Hilltop Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with the school performing above the state average in some grade levels and subjects, but below the state average in others. For example, in 2023-2024, the school performed above the state average in 3rd and 4th grade math, but below the state average in 5th and 6th grade math, as well as in 3rd through 6th grade English Language Arts. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1% in 2023-2024 is also a concern and may be contributing to its declining performance.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, the analysis suggests that further investigation is needed to identify the factors contributing to Hilltop Elementary School's declining performance ranking and mixed academic results. Addressing the root causes of the school's chronic absenteeism and implementing strategies to improve student learning could help the school better serve its students and the Millcreek-West Unity Local community.
