Summary:
Zip code 54634 is home to a single elementary school: Hillsboro Elementary, part of the Hillsboro School District. The school serves grades PK–5 and enrolls 220 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and per-student spending of $18,875. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no neighboring schools to compare it against, and the district's Forward Exam results are identical to the school's in every subject and grade reported, so district-level test data adds no separate information here.
The school's trajectory is notably upward. It ranked 778 of 1,061 schools (27th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024, 623 of 1,044 (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, and 450 of 1,039 (57th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — a gain of 30 percentile points and 328 rank positions. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade ELA reached 78.26% proficient versus 52.08% statewide, 3rd grade math 73.91% versus 54.75%, 4th grade science 76.47% versus 53.46%, and 4th grade social studies 70.59% versus 65.51%. Results are uneven, however: 4th and 5th grade ELA and math fell below state in 2025–2026, with 5th grade math at 42.50% versus 51.81%, and in 2024–2025 5th grade ELA was 37.14% versus 51.26%.
Attendance stands out as a strength, with chronic absenteeism of 2.0%, compared with 5.2% district-wide and 17.3% statewide. Just under half of students (44.55%) qualify for free or reduced lunch. Simple grade-level averages improved in both subjects, from 47.08% to 58.44% in ELA and from 44.73% to 55.47% in math. Families should note that the small grade-level cohorts behind these decimals mean year-to-year swings can be sizable.
