I had a fantastic career at Boylan, despite the issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic my first two years. The teachers and staff were kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. The community was welcoming and tightly knit.

I have been at Boylan all 4 years of high school. The best part of being at Boylan is definitely the people that I have met along my high school journey, I have made friends who I will know for life here and I will never be able to replace that. I would like to see a change in administration. I believe that our Principal, Mr. Rozanski is the best person for the job but the president of the school Amy Ott is more concerned about making money than she is about how the academics have gotten worse over my 4 years here. I believe that she is not good for our school.

The people there are fantastic, and the honors curriculum really helped prepare me for college and earn me a lot of scholarships. However, some of their policies are old fashioned and exclusionary to groups of students.

I have been a Boylan parent since 1994. Tuition has gone up every year, making the choice to send my children to Boylan definitely a sacrifice. A text book buy back program as opposed to "renting " books, as well as the option to buy used uniforms ( many schools do a used uniform sale at the end of...
