Summary
Century High School is a 9–12 public high school in Hillsboro School District 1J in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving 1,563 students in a mid-sized city west of Portland. It is currently ranked 150th of 271 Oregon high schools (45th percentile, 2 stars), down from 83rd percentile and 4 stars in 2018–19.
Among nearby Hillsboro comprehensive high schools, Century High School has the strongest current rank and 11th-grade English language arts proficiency: 47.6%, slightly above the state (46.0%) and well above the district (37.3%). It beats Glencoe High School, Liberty High School, and Hillsboro High School in ELA. Math is a major weakness: 16.8% proficient, below the state’s 22.9% though above the district’s 15.0%. Science is 28.9%, above the district’s 26.7% but below the state’s 33.8%. The graduation rate is a relative strength at 91.0%, above the state’s 83.0% and the district’s 90.4%. Chronic absenteeism is 36.6%, above district and state averages, but lower than Glencoe, Liberty, and Hillsboro.
Subgroup results are uneven: special education students rank in the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, low-income students in the 30th percentile, and English learners in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. The 2025–26 decline was broad, with the overall rank falling from the 60th to the 45th percentile and several student groups dropping. The school serves a higher-poverty population (68.39% free/reduced lunch) and has the highest student–teacher ratio (23:1) among nearby comprehensive high schools, with spending of $18,578 per student. Compared with Beaverton-area schools such as Sunset High School, Westview High School, Beaverton High School, and Aloha High School, Century trails in math and science; selective magnets like Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering and International School of Beaverton are far ahead. Overall, Century has real strengths in ELA and graduation but needs focused improvement in math, science, absenteeism, and subgroup equity.
