Hillsboro High School

The score for this school unfairly depicts the hard work and outcomes that Hillsboro is actually known for. The I.B. program is incredible and students who elect to participate in the Diploma Programme, most go on to university more prepared than their peers from other top public and private schools. The social justice program and initiatives are changing how the city looks and feels about race, diversity, and opportunities. The building has undergone a $100 million dollar renovation and now has state of the art technology integration and a library and media center any school would envy. The athletics and arts programs are consistently competitive at the state level. In short, the people who judge this school by it's overall ranking are missing out on an incredible educational and community experience.

Awesome school for children from all over and great subject choices and Counselors are very supportive.All staff is great

As a business partner who engages with students on a weekly basis, I can attest to the dedication and holistic love at learning that is present at Hillsboro High School.
