History
The school was founded in 1979.
Enrollment at Hilltop Baptist School fell after a teacher sexually abused a student and administrators, some related to the teacher, did not report the assault to the state and fired a teacher and a coach who did. The school subsequently closed.[2][3][4] In its final year of operation, 2010–11, it had 43 students.[1]
