Hillsboro School District On-Time Graduation Rate Crests 90 Percent

The Class of 2025 graduated at a rate of 90.43 percent - an all-time high

January 29, 2026, Hillsboro, OR - Hillsboro School District students reached an impressive milestone in 2025, with 90.43 percent of high school seniors graduating within four years of their first entry into high school. This marks the first time since Oregon began using the cohort graduation rate calculation method in 2008-09 that the district average has been above 90 percent. Three of the district’s five high schools had individual rates above 90 percent: Century, Glencoe, and Liberty. Hillsboro Online Academy reached its highest rate ever, and Hilhi achieved its second-highest rate. The District’s graduation rate is 7.41 percentage points higher than the state average, and 2.88 percentage points higher than last year’s rate of 87.55%. 

*Other completers category includes students earning an Adult HS Diploma, Extended Diploma, or GED.

Notable gains were seen in the graduation rates of Students with Disabilities, Students Experiencing Poverty, Students from Underserved Races/Ethnicities, Ever English Learners, and students identifying as Hispanic/Latino and Black, which aligns with the District’s strategic priority to help students achieve success that is not predictable or predetermined by their race, ethnicity, or any other identities. 

Assistant Superintendent Audrea Neville praised the systems and structures the district has put in place and refined over the past few years: “Our on-track work, Career-Technical Education pathways, literacy plans, language supports, and summer school, as well as alternative and supplementary options like the Pathways Center, Oak Street Campus, evening programming, and HIllsboro Online Academy, have had a huge impact on the growth we’ve seen in our 2025 graduation rates.

Our Strategic Plan has created a foundation for our schools and their work, and it is clear that the focal groups of students we have identified are making gains. While we have not completely closed all our opportunity gaps, we are making a difference. 

We are very proud of the work all our students, staff, families, and community have done in partnership, as this journey starts in elementary school and doesn’t end until students graduate.”
