Summary

Hillsboro Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Hillsboro, Ohio, serving grades 4–5 with 308 students as part of the Hillsboro City district, sharing a campus with Hillsboro Early Childhood Center (PK–1) and Hillsboro Primary School (grades 2–3). The school ranks 448th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — 71st percentile with 4 stars — a step down from 291st the year before, but still a strong position and a large improvement over its 49th percentile ranking in 2015–2016.

Academically, the school is above Ohio averages in every tested subject and grade. Fourth grade math stands out most: 84.7% proficient versus 67.3% statewide, the highest among nearby schools such as Sardinia Elementary School (82.1%), Lynchburg-Clay Elementary School (81.7%), Fairfield Local Elementary School (81.5%), North Adams Elementary School (69.0%), and Greenfield Elementary School (55.9%). Fifth grade results also beat the state — 70.6% math, 76.5% English language arts, 75.0% science — though Fairfield Local, Lynchburg-Clay, and Rainsboro Elementary School post equal or higher marks in some of those subjects. The school's most distinctive strength is its work with low-income students: 5 stars and 92nd–96th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status students over the last three years, higher than its overall ranking.

Attendance has improved steadily, from 32.0% chronically absent in 2021–2022 to 18.0% in 2025–2026, and it stays better than the district's 25.0%. It is still higher than most nearby schools, where rates range from 7.4% at Bright Elementary School to 15.5% at Lynchburg-Clay. The student-teacher ratio (16.2) is favorable within the district. Parents should note the 2025–2026 dip in proficiency and a downward subgroup trend for Special Education students (62nd percentile), which remains above the state median.
