We LOVE Hillsboro! My child is in middle school, and the class sizes are so very small that each student gets lots of individual attention. The teachers know every student and family personally and are quick to communicate about both triumphs and problems, leading to an overall atmosphere of caring, growth, encouragement, and excellence. The principals, counselors, and staff are vehemently anti-bullying. The arts and athletics programs are excellent, the students are offered a broad range of electives, and the community is the most supportive I have ever seen towards a school. The academics and the values my son is learning at Hillsoboro are wonderful. My only minor quibble is that the Gifted Program does not seem to me to be challenging enough, but I have seen that throughout the county.
This is a good school, but not great! I have personally requested many times harder spelling words, only to be met with 'NO, I wont do for one and not all'... I havent seen discipline issues however a few teachers appear lazy and a bit defensive when questioned regarding management and teaching skills. This is very is appointing considering that the school has a great PTO and student body.
We LOVE Hillsboro Elementary and Middle School! I have 4 children attending this school and we couldn't be happier. It is very community oriented, all of the teachers and the administrative staff know each family personally. They truly care about the students individual needs and work to meet those needs.
I have been involved with Hillsboro School for many years. I myself was a former student and my son attended K-5 there. In my opinion, the new principals and discipline really ruined this school. When I was there it was great and some of my old teachers are still there. Those teachers (Ms. Greene, Ms. Anderson, Ms. Weatherman...just to name a few) still make the school what it is today. The new principals need to follow through with discipline so that this school doesn't continue with a not so good name. They don't know about the zero tolerance to bullying in the classroom and on the bus.
