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.”
