GreatSchools Rating
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.

Overall I thought I came out of Boyertown with a good education and a readiness for the next chapter in my life. I just wish the color guard got more funding and more acceptance because a lot of times our gym space would be given up for baseball or track.

Many different clubs for everyone and easy to start a club with an advisor. Some of the teachers were less than optimal.

I like how a lot of AP and DE classes are offered and I found most of the teachers to be friendly, fair, and good at teaching. The portion sizes for food were fairly small compared to what I eat at home regularly and what I imagine my brother to eat when he becomes a teenager. A lot of the students at the school have shown to be bigoted to various diversity groups such as the LGBTQ, which I think should be improved on. The guidance counselors have been great and have supported me in my journey to graduate during my junior year. (hence why I put down senior, I am a senior in all but name in the school's system).

This change is going to lower grade, and make student emotional state worse. The removal of open campus...

I didn't realize what an amazing high school I went to until I got older. I graduated from Boyertown High School, got my BA at Temple University and now live in Colorado with an amazing job and can afford an awesome lifestyle. Thanks Boyertown Senior High for putting me on the path to succeed.

Graduates are well manner, considerate and the majority go on to college. Facilities are a bit aged compared to other district but that is starting to be remedied particularly with the rebuild of the highschool

Well firstly, I must agree that the school does have a wide variety of activities. But the rest of the school is horrible. The phys ed is excessive as we probably exercise more than adults do, the homework is ridiculous as if our life has to revolve entirely around school and nothing else. To add on...
