Summary:
The city of West Unity, Ohio is home to two schools - Hilltop Elementary School and Hilltop High School, both part of the Millcreek-West Unity Local District.

Hilltop High School has consistently ranked among the top 377 out of 864 high schools in Ohio, earning 3-4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with high proficiency rates in subjects like Science, Math, American History, Algebra I, and English II.

Additionally, Hilltop High School faces a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 20.3%, which may be an area of concern for the district to address.
