Summary:
ZIP code 45133 is served by a single high school: Hillsboro High School, part of the Hillsboro City district. The school enrolls 638 students in grades 9–12 at 550 US Route 62, Hillsboro. Because there is only one high school here, parents cannot compare it with a neighboring school; the most useful benchmarks are the school against its own district, against Ohio state averages, and against its own past results.
The school's strongest results are in science, English, and history. Biology is the clearest bright spot at 79.6% proficient, 12.6 points above the state's 67.0%, and it improved 5.1 points from the prior year while the state rose only 1.6. English II sits at 72.0% (9.3 points above the state), American History at 78.6% (5.4 points above), and American Government at 72.4% (0.8 points above). Math is the weak area: Geometry is 40.1% proficient, 3.2 points below the state, and Algebra I is 51.9%, 9.7 points below the state and 18.8 points below the district's reported 70.7% — a gap that may reflect different test-takers being included in the district figure.
Two trends are worth watching. Government proficiency fell 8.3 points year over year, from 80.7% to 72.4%, while the state slipped only 1.0 point, and Geometry shifted from 1.0 point above the state to 3.2 points below. Meanwhile, the graduation rate is 99.4%, yet chronic absenteeism is 30.1% at the school versus 25.0% in the district. The school's overall rank has also slid from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to 57th and then 48th, with its star rating dropping from 3 to 2. Note that per-student spending is only available for 2018–2019 ($9,090), the student-teacher ratio is 21.2, and free/reduced lunch data is blank, so economic context is unknown.
