Hilltop Baptist School was a private Baptist Christian school located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. The school was a ministry of Hilltop Baptist Church and belonged to the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools (SBACS).

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]
