Summary

Hilliard Middle-Senior High in Hilliard, FL, is a combined middle and high school serving 773 students in grades 6-12 within the highly-rated Nassau County School District, located in a rural community. This school stands out for its exceptional math performance and a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly exceeding both the district (92.3%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this success is tempered by a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.8%, which is a key area of concern that parents should be aware of.

Compared to the nearby West Nassau County High School, Hilliard shows notable strengths and differences. In math, Hilliard dramatically outperforms its peer, with Algebra 1 proficiency at 84% versus 43% and Geometry at 72% versus 57%, suggesting a particularly strong math curriculum. The school also spends more per student ($12,102 vs. $10,711), which may contribute to these results. While Hilliard’s chronic absenteeism is alarmingly high, it is actually lower than West Nassau’s rate of 50.5%, indicating a district-wide challenge that Hilliard manages slightly better.

An interesting pattern emerges in subject performance: Hilliard excels in math but struggles in science, with Biology 1 proficiency at 73% and 8th Grade Science at 60%, both well below the district averages of 86% and 74%. The school has shown strong year-over-year improvement, with graduation rates climbing from 92.7% to 100% and Algebra 1 proficiency jumping from 57% to 84% over three years. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch has dropped from 52.37% to 41.53%, reflecting positive economic trends in the community. Overall, Hilliard Middle-Senior High is a school on an upward trajectory with clear strengths in math and graduation, but addressing chronic absenteeism and boosting science scores will be crucial for sustaining long-term success.
