My child has been a student since Kindergarten and is now in 7th grade. The teachers and staff are very attentive and helpful. My child is in advanced classes and us doing well in those also. This school offers several academic programs as well extra curricular activities that involve not just the student, parents and school but involve the whole community. The town of Hillsboro closes down the streets for their parades during Homecoming, Christmas and allows the whole community to celebrate and join in on the spirit. Excellent school district.

many many issues. i do not recommend any of the Hillsboro schools my oldest was bullied and it even got physical and no one cared to address it. sad sad sad administration is only there for a paycheck. they took away my childs iep and she went to making all F's and they didnt want to give her the iep back so that was setting her up for failure for the next school year.

My child currently attends Hillsboro High School, and overall, our experience has been positive. Many of the teachers treat students with respect and genuinely care about their well-being and academic progress. The school fosters a welcoming environment, and my child feels supported by several staff members.One area of concern, however, is the emphasis placed on sports, particularly football. At times, it seems that athletics take precedence over academics, which can be frustrating for students who are more focused on learning. While school spirit and extracurricular activities are important, I would appreciate a stronger balance between sports and education to ensure all students receive the attention and resources they need to succeed academically.Overall, Hillsboro High School offers a respectful and supportive atmosphere, but I hope to see continued improvements in prioritizing academics alongside athletics.

my special ed child needed assistance with her lunch and never got any so most of her lunch was always sent back home. she would come home crying because she was so hungry. she needed one on one and never got any assistance with that. she had GI issues the school tried sending her home over even though they knew what was going on they just didn't want to deal with it. (discrimination). they tried assigning her a chrome book she has no comprehension she's special ed seriously. she was left handed until the school obliviously forced her into using her right hand. her left is so much better. that was not there choice to make. many many issues. i do not recommend any of the Hillsboro schools my oldest was bullied and it even got physical and no one cared to address it. sad sad sad administration is only there for a paycheck.
