34^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 340 Kansas High Schools

Better than 90% of Kansas high schools

Summary

Hillsboro Middle/High School in Hillsboro, Kansas, serves grades 6–12 and enrolls 310 students, the largest enrollment among the seven nearby schools compared. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were above the state in ELA, math, and science, but below the Durham-Hillsboro-Lehigh district in all three. Science is the school’s clearest standout: Hillsboro had the highest all-grades science rate among the seven schools, at 52%, 14 points above the state and 17 points above the nearby-school average.

Results vary by subject: Hillsboro ranked fourth of seven nearby schools in ELA, fifth in math, and first in science. Its ELA rate was about even with the nearby-school average, while math was 8 points above that average. The district led Hillsboro by 6 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 1 in science. Grade 7 is a relative soft spot: Hillsboro was just below the state in grade 7 ELA and math, although it had the highest rate among nearby schools reporting those grades. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also points to a notable concern: it places Hillsboro at the 26th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, compared with the school’s overall 90th percentile; that subgroup ranking fell from the 92nd percentile in 2022–2023. Its Female Students ranking was 74th percentile, 16 points below the overall ranking.

Since 2022–2023, results have improved in all three subjects, with the strongest gains in science and math. Science rose by 22 points and math by 17; ELA rose by 3 points, while the state improved faster, narrowing Hillsboro’s ELA advantage from 13 points to 4. SchoolDigger ranked Hillsboro 34th of 340 schools, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars—the second-highest percentile among the seven nearby schools, behind Hesston High. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 11, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 35%, close to the nearby-school average of 35%.
