Schools in Hillsboro ISD · Hill County

Two schools push into the top quartile statewide among Hill County's 20 ranked public schools — Hillsboro Junior High and Abbott School, both clearing the 80th percentile. That's a modest but meaningful showing for a rural county of 12 districts spread across small towns like Hillsboro, Itasca, Whitney, and Hubbard. Most campuses here serve tight enrollment numbers, and performance varies considerably across the county. Families researching the area will find the strongest options concentrated in Hillsboro and the smaller community of Abbott, making district choice particularly important when weighing where to plant roots.
