Summary:
Hillsboro City serves roughly 2,218 students across five schools: three elementaries — Hillsboro Early Childhood Center (PK–1), Hillsboro Primary School (2–3), and Hillsboro Intermediate School (4–5) — plus Hillsboro Middle School (6–8) and Hillsboro High School (9–12), with no alternative school. The Hillsboro City district ranks 296th of 773 in Ohio, at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, and about half of all students are enrolled in the elementary grades.
The district's strongest results are at the elementary level. Hillsboro Intermediate is the only 4-star school, ranked 448th of 1,560 (71st percentile), with the lowest chronic absenteeism (18.0%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (16.2). All five of its tested subjects beat the state, including 4th grade math at 84.7% versus 67.3%. Hillsboro Primary also outperforms the state in both tested subjects and has low absenteeism at 18.6%. The middle school is rated 65th percentile with 3 stars and has 7 of 8 tests above state, led by an exceptional Algebra I result of 100% proficient versus 61.6% statewide.
The high school is more mixed: graduation is 99.4% and Biology, American History, and English II are above state, but Geometry (40.1% vs 43.3%) and Algebra I (51.9% vs 61.6%) lag, and its rank slipped from 64th percentile/3 stars to 48th percentile/2 stars. Absenteeism splits sharply by level — every elementary school is below the district rate of 25.0%, while the middle school (31.3%) and high school (30.1%) are above it. Math is the main weak spot at the secondary level, with the middle school's Algebra I as the clear exception. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable and spending figures date to 2018-2019.
