Hilldale

The Hilldale school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Hilldale Lower Elementary School, Hilldale High School, and Hilldale Middle School. While the district has some standout schools, the overall performance of the schools is below the state average, with challenges in test scores, graduation rates, and socioeconomic factors.

Hilldale High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 174 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% and outperforms the state average in 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Hilldale Lower Elementary School and Hilldale Middle School have lower proficiency rates than the state average in various subjects and grade levels.

The high free and reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 68.28% to 74.37%, suggest that the Hilldale district may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. Additionally, the varying student-teacher ratios, from 17.4 at the lower elementary school to 22.6 at the high school, may indicate staffing challenges that could contribute to the overall underperformance of the district. While the data paints a concerning picture, there are opportunities for the Hilldale district to focus on improving test scores, graduation rates, and overall school performance through targeted interventions and resource allocation.
