The school is part of the Canfield Local School District, which is ranked 33 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hilltop Elementary has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating strong academic performance.

Hilltop Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in Ohio State Tests for both Mathematics and English Language Arts across grades 3 and 4. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 85.4% of 3rd-grade students and 90.5% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 62.1% and 67.2%, respectively.

Hilltop Elementary also performs well across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, and white students, consistently ranking in the top 20-25% of Ohio elementary schools for these groups.

While Hilltop Elementary's performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools in the Canfield Local District, such as C.H. Campbell Elementary, as well as schools in other districts like Robinwood Lane Elementary and Horizon Science Academy Youngstown, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism and declining performance for low-socioeconomic students are areas that warrant further attention and intervention.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
