Summary:
Hillsboro School District 1J in Oregon serves grades 9–12 at four comprehensive high schools — Century High School, Glencoe High School, Liberty High School, and Hillsboro High School — enrolling 5,841 students, or about 1,460 per school. The district itself ranks 69th of 141 districts (51st percentile, 3 stars), but school-level performance varies far more than that single district figure suggests. Note that high-school test results reported here effectively reflect grade 11, so 11th-grade district and state figures are the fairest comparisons.
Two schools post clear strengths. Century High School, the largest at 1,563 students, leads in English Language Arts at 47.6% — above the district 11th-grade rate of 37.3% and the state's 46.0% — and has the group's lowest chronic absenteeism at 36.6%. Glencoe High School has the highest graduation rate, 94.0% (district 90.4%, state 83.0%), the highest science proficiency at 35.7%, and is the only school above the state in science. Glencoe is also the only school with an improving rank trend, moving from 171st of 268 to 156th of 271; Century's rank declined over the same period.
Across all four schools, math is the weakest subject: the group averages 14.375%, below the district's 15.0% and well below the state's 22.9%, with no school reaching the state mark. Chronic absenteeism is a shared concern — every school exceeds the district rate of 31.8% and state rate of 33.5%, from Century's 36.6% up to Hillsboro High School's 45.0%. Hillsboro, the smallest at 1,327 students, has the lowest ELA (25.5%), science (18.0%), and graduation (86.2%). Liberty High School has the lowest math proficiency at 9.5%, the highest per-student spending at $20,264, and the steepest rank decline. Graduation remains a relative strength overall, with a 90.65% group average, even though free/reduced-price lunch rates are nearly identical across all four schools.
