High Schools in Hillsboro City

Hillsboro City, Ohio is home to a single high school, Hillsboro High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school lacks direct competition within the district, its performance can be evaluated against state-level metrics to identify areas of strength and potential improvement.

Hillsboro High School demonstrates strong academic performance in several core subjects, with students outperforming the state average on Ohio State Tests in American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. However, the school's performance in Geometry and Algebra I is closer to the state average, indicating a need for additional focus and support in these math-related areas. The school maintains a consistent 3-out-of-5-star rating on the SchoolDigger statewide rankings, suggesting stable academic performance over time.

Despite these academic strengths, Hillsboro High School faces challenges related to its high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.7% and the fact that 99.54% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and providing additional resources and support to meet the needs of this student population could be important areas of focus for the school and the Hillsboro City district.
