context_page_description: The Hillsboro School District 1J is a unified school district located in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. The district operates 26 elementary schools, four middle schools, and four high schools. Founded in 1851, the school district covers Hillsboro, Scholls, Reedville, North Plains, West Union, and other area communities. Total enrollment as of the 2014–2015 school year is 20,884 students, the fourth largest in the state.
  The district is labeled 1J, as it absorbed the West Union School District, the first district in the county; the J represents that the district extends into other counties, Yamhill and Multnomah. Hillsboro's elementary schools had been District 7 prior to consolidation in 1996. The high school district was 3J and included students from grades 7 through 12, and received students from the Hillsboro elementary district and five other elementary districts.
  The Hillsboro School District Board of Directors consists of seven elected members serving four-year terms. Members receive no pay for their work on the board. The district is part of the Northwest Regional Education Service District.
context_section_description: In 1963, the Union High School District opened East Hillsboro Junior High School, with Raymond A. "Pat" Brown as the principal. Brown retired in 1975, and the school was renamed in his honor as Brown Junior High. An expansion in 1980 enlarged the library, gymnasium, and the counseling center. The school became a middle school in 1997. Another expansion about 2007 added eight classrooms along the eastern edge of the school.
  Located along what is now Cornelius Pass Road, the school is in the Reedville neighborhood between West Baseline and Tualatin Valley Highway. The school houses 7th and 8th grades, and feeds into Century High School. Butternut Creek, Tobias, Imlay, Indian Hills, Ladd Acres, and Reedville elementary schools feed into Brown. As of 2013, the school had 816 students and had a below average performance rating from the state.
