Ottawa Hills School District #1 in Ohio

Ottawa Hills Schools are currently ranked first in Ohio based on state performance tests.   The ranking is a measure of several factors including academic excellence as demonstrated by participation in accelerated programs, advanced placement course offerings and enrollment, overall proficiency test performance, attendance and graduation rate. 

In December 2008 U.S. News and World Report included Ottawa Hills High School on its list of America’s Best High Schools.  The journal selected 100 gold medal high schools from over 21,000 public high schools evaluated, based on both state proficiency benchmarks and college-readiness performance. 

 Newsweek magazine also named Ottawa Hills among the “Best High Schools in America” in its May, 2008 edition. Ottawa Hills was included in a listing of 1300 high schools across the nation that qualified for the designation. Public schools were ranked according to a ratio called the Challenge Index devised by Jay Matthews, Newsweek contributing editor and Washington Post reporter. Recognized schools are in the top 5% in the nation. Ottawa Hills has qualified for this prestigious list every year since 1998.

The excellence of our school system is a testament to the dedicated teachers and staff, involved parents, high achieving students, and a supportive community.

“Because of my career, we’ve lived in several cities across America. Our family moved to Ottawa Hills about a year ago and we find it’s the best place we’ve ever lived. If you’re interested in real neighbors, beautiful homes, great services and terrific schools, look no further”

A Beautiful Community

The Village of Ottawa Hills is beautiful in so many ways. Certainly the mature trees, lush greenery, wildlife, quiet streets and the Ottawa River help create the natural beauty. We’re also proud of our beautiful collection of homes, with distinctive character and old world craftsmanship that can never be duplicated. But perhaps the best thing about Ottawa Hills is the strong sense of community. This is no “neighborhood of strangers” like so many new developments. A commitment to excellent schools and parent involvement helped create the basis of this community, which continues long after the last child has left for college. With virtually no commercial area, everything about Ottawa Hills says residential living at its best. Look around. It just might be the right place for you.

We designed this site to give you a feel for what living here is like. As a resident myself, I believe that Ottawa Hills is one of the best places to live in the Midwest, and we keep working to make it better. I hope you take some time to explore our village.
