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.

When I first transferred to Boynton beach community high school, I did not like it at first , then when I finally got my schedule I was a bit confused because I had so many AICE classes and I never had AICE classes before so my counselor told me I have AICE classes because of my gpa and I was just in shocked , the teachers and staff are so welcoming and helpful in anything you need to succeed at school , the counselor are the best because they are willing to listen to any life story you have and give you the best advice. The sports and the coaches treats us like we are they kids even though they are just our coaches I had a really good experience with sports at this school . The worst parts are how hot it be and then the AC sometimes go out on us , they also have a school clinic that does free physical to who ever needs to get a physical done without paying . We have great AP's who watches out for everything like fights or bad things happening around school .

The School is located in a lower income area. Compared to other schools I had gone to, the coursework was very little, as the teachers are quoted saying they "don't expect the students to do the work anyways".

My best part of my experience at Boynton Beach high school was the activities and club, such as; band, football, art club, and others. I said this because I'm part of the Tiger Sound Band program. This band program help me out alot like communicating with others, how to lead, and how to help others inside or outside the program. And also it was fun. I'm very grateful for this band becuase it help me with working skills and it felt like a second home to as well. The worst part was not having the best teachers. I said this because there weren't alot of teacher who care about the students.

I was chocked out in front of a gym teacher when I attended this school and she didn’t do anything to the other student. One star to the public school system in any county in Florida.

The teachers are absolutely AMAZING but that principal they have needs to go. He doesn’t even support groups like DH who are having THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON TO WATCH THEM SING! He wouldn’t even let my daughter go home when she was sick
