I’m a sophomore this year, but I give Hillsboro High School a 3 star rating. Although they have claimed that they get the most funding because they are the face of the Hillsboro School District, there are many times when it feels like the opposite. It is a “Californian-style” campus where each subject has it’s own building and students must walk outside to other buildings in order to get to their classes. Living in Oregon, it is cold and raining for at least 3/4 of the school year, but unfortunately there’s nothing you can really do about it. There are only about 3 easily accessible bathrooms on campus, as of which you have to walk long distances to depending on where your current class is. However during the year of 2020-21, I have noticed that teachers have expressed more care and concern for their students which I really appreciate.
My highschool experience at Hillsboro highschool is rated a 3 out of 5. The pros about my experience include the amount of culture and diversity at this school. I was in the Spanish Emerson program through my entire school career since kinder and the highschool did a great job in keeping its students engaged and helped with the understanding of different cultures. The downside of my experience at this highschool was the poor preparation and understanding for career pathway classes. I didn’t quite get a clear understanding of what classes to forecast for, so I wasn’t able to sign up for classes that would best prepare myself for the future/college. Other than that, and having to work with a basketball coach that didn’t necessarily uplift the athletes, I wouldn’t have wanted to live my highschool career at any other school and am proud to be a Hilhi alumni.
What I really like about the high school is how diverse it is from students to teachers. Students are kind and will try to help you work together with you when you need help solving a problem. The teachers tries very hard to make sure you could be the most successful person you can be. They challenge you, learn your strengths and weaknesses, open opportunities to you in order to make sure you are the best person you can be. The clubs and the sports are very inclusive and varies from art to basketball. However, the Hillsboro High School needs to work on their safety and their administration. The school does give an effort to make sure the students are safe, however they should keep more of a close eye on their students. Their administration needs to be more reasonable when it comes to giving out tardie slips and be more updated on the student's reason of absence. Overall, Hillsboro Highschool is a very good school with good staff, students, and programs.
