Hillsboro School District

What Hillsboro School District does

Hillsboro School District (HSD) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 3083 Northeast 49th Place, Hillsboro, Oregon, serving approximately 19,000 students from preschool through 12th grade across 37 schools (26 elementary, 4 middle, 4 high schools, plus an Oak Street alternative campus and the Hillsboro Online Academy K-12). The district is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors under Superintendent Travis Reiman and operates as a government state entity under Oregon Department of Education oversight. HSD's core offering is comprehensive public education, augmented by specialized programs including a Dual Language program spanning 16 schools and serving 3,700+ bilingual students, 35 Career & Technical Education pathways including Oregon's only Registered Youth Apprenticeship, AVID college-readiness services, an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Hillsboro High School, and Talented and Gifted (TAG) and special education services.

Underlying service delivery is supported by a multi-vendor educational technology stack: ParentSquare for family communications, Synergy as the student information system, ClassLink for single sign-on, Sora for digital library resources, Microsoft/Google productivity tools, Finalsite as the website CMS, Destiny for library cataloging, Zoom for virtual meetings, Graystep for invoicing, and WillSub for substitute scheduling. The district has implemented formal Generative AI Guidance governing appropriate technology use, though no proprietary AI systems are disclosed.

HSD's revenue model is tax-funded rather than commercial: it draws on state education funding (based on Average Daily Membership weighted enrollment), local property taxes, federal Title and IDEA grants, and pandemic-recovery funds, with minor ancillary revenue from student fees for athletics, specific activities, and community facility use. Basic K-12 tuition is free for district residents. Marketing and enrollment flow through neighborhood school assignment, online registration, an annual community festival ("Proud to be HSD"), multilingual outreach across eight languages, and a weekly Hot News podcast and newsletter. HSD achieved a Class of 2025 on-time graduation rate of 90.43%, 7.41 percentage points above the state average, and was the first K-12 district in Oregon to receive Systems Accreditation.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Stride Inc. (K12): National online K-12 education provider that competes for full-time online enrollments against HSD's Hillsboro Online Academy. Relevant as a competing channel for the same student population in a different delivery model.
• Connections Academy: Operator of tuition-free online public schools in partnership with school districts and states. Direct competitive overlap with Hillsboro Online Academy for students seeking fully virtual K-12 instruction.

Direct peers

• Beaverton School District: Adjacent Oregon district of comparable scale (~39,000 students) operating public K-12 schools in the Portland metro. Most direct operational peer given geographic proximity, similar demographic profile, and overlapping bilingual/CTE programming considerations.
• Portland Public Schools: Largest school district in Oregon serving the Portland metro, including dual language programs and CTE pathways. Directly comparable as a public K-12 operator with overlapping multilingual student populations and state-level policy exposure.
• Salem-Keizer School District: Second-largest Oregon public school district (~40,000 students) operating K-12 schools with bilingual programs, CTE, and alternative education campuses. Comparable in scale, governance, and reliance on state funding formula.
• Tigard-Tualatin School District: Suburban Portland-metro Oregon K-12 district of similar demographic composition with dual language and CTE offerings. Relevant peer for benchmarking operational practices and bilingual programming approaches within the same regional context.

Regional players

• Lake Oswego School District: Oregon district serving the Portland metro with strong academic outcomes; relevant peer for benchmarking graduation rate performance and IB/advanced programming mix, though smaller and higher-income than HSD.

Others

• Hillsboro Schools Foundation: Nonprofit foundation providing engagement grants to HSD schools. Core strategic partner for funding innovation and supplemental student programming outside the public budget cycle.
• Oregon Department of Education: State regulatory and funding authority that governs HSD operations and disburses the ADMw-based funding that constitutes the district's primary revenue stream. Central counterparty for policy, funding, and accountability frameworks.
• City of Hillsboro: Municipal co-funder of BLAST after-school programs and broader community partner. Material to HSD's service delivery model given shared investment in after-school care expansion from 320 to 1,000+ students annually.
