GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Hillsboro High School had been overall pretty good. I have had a many opportunites to take college dual enrollment classes. Most teachers look forward to assisting their students, however there are a few that frankly do not look out for their students at all. Hillsboro High School is located in the middle of a mainly white town, meaning diversity is very little. That being said the school system makes sure to include those who are different in any way.

-1000 If I could rate it that. Do research on this school for the past 10 years. You will be shocked at what you read about especially in the law suits they have had. What the school officials done to an 8 year old girl after complaining about bus driver touching her chest and kissing her will just...
