Summary:
The city of Hillsboro, Ohio is home to a school district that includes 6 schools - 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district generally perform well, with several standout institutions like Hillsboro Intermediate School and Hillsboro High School ranking among the top schools in the state.
Hillsboro Intermediate School consistently ranks in the top 20% of Ohio elementary schools, with strong test scores and over 80% proficiency in 5th grade science. Hillsboro High School also stands out, with a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97.7% and test scores that outperform the state average in all subject areas.

While the Hillsboro school district appears to be performing well overall, the data also highlights areas for potential improvement. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, especially at Hillsboro Primary School and Hillsboro High School, suggest potential socioeconomic challenges that the district may need to address. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending across the district raises questions about resource allocation. The district may also want to investigate the decline in performance at Hillsboro Middle School.
