Summary
Liberty High School is a 9–12 public high school in Hillsboro School District 1J in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving about 1,459 students in the western Portland metro area. It ranks 209 of 271 Oregon high schools (23rd percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26, a steep drop from 125 of 268 (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–24 and 117 of 258 (55th percentile) in 2022–23. Its district ranks 69 of 141.
The most important pattern is a gap between graduating students and getting them to grade-level proficiency. Liberty's graduation rate is 91.4% (2024–25), above the district's 90.4% and the state's 83.0%. But 11th-grade OSAS proficiency is 38.3% in English language arts, 9.5% in math, and 21.0% in science. Math is the clearest weakness: it trails the district (15.0%) and the state (22.9%), and every same-district comprehensive high school — Glencoe High School 17.9%, Century High School 16.8%, and Hillsboro High School 13.3% — as well as Westview High School 32.0% and Sunset High School 46.9%. Chronic absenteeism of 40.4% is above the district's 31.8% and the state's 33.5%.
About 67.72% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, up from 52.26% in 2023–24 — similar to Glencoe and Century, which still outperform Liberty in math and science, so economic factors alone don't explain the gap. Liberty spends $20,264 per student, more than Glencoe, Hillsboro, Century, Westview, and Sunset, with a 21:1 student-teacher ratio. Relative effectiveness for several groups fell in 2025–26, including low-income students (144 of 152, 5th percentile, 0 stars) and gifted students (58 of 75, 23rd percentile). Bright spots include special education students (64th percentile) and students experiencing homelessness (53rd percentile). For context, International School of Beaverton (3 of 271) and Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering (7 of 271) post much higher outcomes in the area.
