"We have found our time at Boggess to be enjoyable and rewarding. In addtion to academics the school offers Art, Music, and Library once a week and PE/Fitness twice a week at all grade levels. We moved from a school district and state where none of the above is offered. Library time is not just going and looking at a book, the Librarian teaches about types of literature, how to find books in a library, how to conduct research using Library resources, etc. The PTA sponsors after school activities for those families interested; Chess, Drama Kids, Science, etc. There are plenty of opportunities for parent involvement. From our experience each students needs are taken into individual account. If there is a concern that my childs needs are not being met the teachers have been more than happy to discuss. I enter the school on many occasions quite early to help out, I often help with things after school, I frequently see teachers in early and staying late to work with students who need some extra time. I call this dedication. There is a strong emphasis on the teaching of respect, respect for self and for others. I find this to be the basis of the discipline philosophy"

"Boggess is fantastic! We are in our last year this year and will miss the teachers, the office team and all the wonderful parents that volunteer everyday. What a a great experience for the kids! There is a statewide focus on "teaching to the test" - this school is no different than any other blue ribbon or exemplary school. They do a very nice job of managing different personalities and talents. We were lucky to end up in this school district!"

"The teachers are busy socializing and planning the next wine party, that they can't cover the topics. "

"The principal was removed from the school and replaced. I hope the new principal can clean things up. The superintendent has resigned. Now the school district needs to do away with the math curriculum. "

"Boggess is Great!! We have two students in Boggess, one entering 3rd grade and one entering 5th. We have really found that community involvement is great, with one of the highest PTA membership in the area. We always take the time to volunteer, and always find several volunteers daily. The Principal is an outstanding leader and role model for the kids! We have always found that counselors, teachers and nurses are easily reachable and will communicate to daily needs! Outstanding group of people! And our kids are doing really well!"
