Hillsboro Comp High School

Hillsboro remains at the very top of the academic ladder and has remained there for years....Very high percentages of graduates go on to college, many alumni are disinguished citizens priviledge attending here. To that parent: I'm sorry to say, but Hillsboro is not the best who gave the negative, it is principals NOT principles!

My daughter is a transfer student from Harpeth Hall Girls School to the Hillsboro International Baccalaureate program. I volunteer in the Visual Arts department and am in regular communication with school administrators. Teachers and department leaders participate regularly in continued IB training. I am in the classroom 1-4 times weekly and can assure you that students who participate in the AP and IB programs can stand up to any program in Nashville. Our school and families are working hard to gain the same positive attention locally that we enjoy nationally.

As a parent of two recent Hillsboro graduates, I was very impressed by the level of education that they received. As one of the countries few IB accredited schools, the school stands above many of the private schools in the area. My children both flourished and have grown into wonderful young adults.

I'm sorry to say, but Hillsboro is not the best school for children who actually want a good education. The teachers do not put their all into teaching, the safety issues are always being worried about, the principles do not care much about the students.

I love hillsboro high school. I have been there since my freshmen year. I am a senior and hate that im leaving. The teachers are so concern about every student and put their all in their job... Hillsboro is a home away from home and i enjoy going to school everyday!

Hillsboro is an excellent school; I did my student teacher at this school and was voted the Student Teacher of The Year. My grandson enjoys the curriculum and the teachers. I visit the school frequently and I know some of the teachers and have taught some of them. The principal' strategies for discipline is excellent; some students do not like him, but he well-liked by most of the students that I know at the school. Teachers are on task for students to learn. Great school. Kathy Pleas - retired teacher

Hillsboro is a great school for motivated students. Our son transferred there from a private school and we were pleasantly surprised. The faculty and administration (especially guidance counselors) made him feel welcome and wanted. Unfortunately, like all public schools, they do not have the same resources as the private schools nor the amount of parental involvement across the board. If you have a motivated child though, they can do very well at Hillsboro.
