Neighborhood

Central Hillsboro, located about 20 miles west of downtown Portland, Oregon, is a close-knit, community-oriented neighborhood that provides opportunities for working families and professionals alike. Close enough to Portland to make an evening out an easy trip, this hotspot for both industry and community events lies in the heart of the Silicon Forest, named for nationwide companies such as Intel that have campuses in the area.

Hillsboro is Oregon’s fifth-biggest city, and the city government expends a lot of effort into improving the lives of city residents. Dozens of large community festivals and a generous handful of city parks are maintained for residents to enjoy on a regular basis.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
