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.

I think that HHS is an amazing community and, despite its aging façade, its students make the school very lively and fun. The teachers at HHS are amazing and are phenomenal at teaching while also being engaging enough for me to learn. I'm very happy to be able to study at this school.

Cons- School only uses chromebooks-not sure if this will prepare my kids for college, overcrowded from building of low income housing- no national honor society, no buses for my kids all 4 years Pros-diverse, pretty town, lots of family business, clean parks and town, positive experiences with elementary schools, middle school and auten road

Hillsborough High School is too crowded, administrators are clueless, making school closure and delay announcements hours later than other districts. For the amount of money that the district has, it has been woefully mismanaged.

I am a sophomore in HHS currently. Over these past 1.5 years I have seen much. Teachers: The quality of the teachers varies greatly.
