I have two children at Spanish River a senior and a Freshman. both my students have thrived here. The diversity and strength of their academic programs just goes to show that academics are a priority at SRHS. With a 78% AP pass rate (the highest in PB County) and 16 Merit Scholar Finalists, 13 Commended Scholars, fabulous student involvement and a tremendous PTSA...why would you want to send your child anywhere else?

I just watched the video of this schools administrators throwing out BradLee Dean from a scheduled speaking engagement. The statement that no one has first amendment rights in a public school is ludicris! These are supposedly educated people that are lying to our children, and not teaching them about our country. I'll bet none of the teachers know what our constitution says about the right to assemble and the right of religious freedom. None of them have been taught american history or civics. This is an example of a poorly ran school with poor education standards.

Yesterday, February 13, 2013 the principal without cause or reason removed from the premises nationally known Christian speaker/musician Bradlee Dean after his having been invited by the student group, The American Club. This is in direct violation of the Policy and Procedures of the district and of the student's civil rights to operate their club on school property. Why would an educated, professional behave in such an irrational manner? Why would he violate his oath of office to uphold and protect the Constitution?; and by that oath he should honor our students Constitutional rights of assembly and of religious freedom. Instead he violated them. Does this make him non-professional? Has he violated the DOE's regulation of Professional Conduct? This would not be the leadership that I would want our future citizens to emulate. He owes everyone an apology for his bad behavior.

I am a student here and I dropped out right after freshman year. I transfered to North Broward and now back on A-B level. My sister spent all four years at this school and now attends the University of Miami. Saying that, she could have done a lot better. The teachers are good, but the staff is horrid. Campus is gross (for the most part) and the school is way to over populated. I've gotten countless detentions for just trying to get through the hallways. After all of this the senior classes get into only state schools and the school can't even afford to have enough honors and AP classes. Please take my advice and consider another school like North Broward or Pine Crest.

To get an idea of how this school is run, go to the website and look for current and helpful information. The staff is unfriendly and unhelpful. The left hand doesn't even seem to know it HAS a right hand. That said, the teachers generally are very good.

Mrs. Carter is a gem and makes her classes interesting but some of the better teachers have retired. As a parent I have been disturbed with the amount of cheating that takes place at this school. It seems students from wealthy families are favored. There are several well versed guidance counselors all though more preparation and education regarding college prep should be done junior year instead of senior year.

Entrepreneurial Academy offers priceless business education and opportunities. Mrs. Carter is a GEM. The new principal, Mr. Latson CARES. He is a wonderful addition. Student body is not what one would expect in central Boca Raton. Plenty of diversity - kids bus in from near and far. Very competitive school academically. Kids here want to excel.

im going to this school next year so i have much to learn. but my sister is a senior there this year, her thoughts about this school have been mixed. freshman and sophmore year she loved it but due to fitting in, teachers, clubs ect. she has changed her mind her last two years.

Spanish River is like a private school education with a public school price. My daughter has been in the Biotech Academy for three years and all of her teachers have been wonderful. The kids are really encouraged to do their best and challenge themselves. The administration and guidance are always helpful and there is a tremendous amount of parent involvement/support.

We bought a house in that boundary just because of this school and turn out this school was a big disappointment, unimpressed teachers with dysfunctional students behavior.

Our Son Attends Spanish River HS and let me just say we are so happy with the School, the Teachers and the Guidance Counselors have been fantastic as Our son attended a different Boca HS and was very unhappy, the kids were not welcoming nor where they freindly as in Spanish River he was Accepted and made some great friends as he came into the school in the middle of year back in 09 and Academically the other school was not challenging for him. He is very involved in their Business Entrepreneur Program and loves it..As far as Drugs go it was rampid in his last High School and Parents need to know it exists in ALL Schools. We Came from Another State and our children were in some of the best schools, and unfortunately Drugs were all over the School. We are very happy that we switched schools as Our son is thriving and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. We are very impressed with all the extra help this school offers students who need it, Ive had several meetings with the AP's and Guidance Counselors as well as my calls and emails returned very quickly. I would Recommend this school to anyone looking for a School that offers Students the chance to Succeed.

I was very exited to send my son to SRH at first ,but little by little I become very dissapointed with the school, it is nearly impossible to get a meeting with the teachers, the principal's open door policy is somewhat questionable.Another parent wrote that if you are not of a certain religion or backgrund you don't get too much attention. I thin it is truly sad that students have to be of a certain religion and social standard to receive the education that every child deserves no matter where they come from

Spanish River's Athletic Department is excellent. The coaches are caring and work hard to be good role models. Unfortunately, the academics are not as good. My child was a mid-year transfer student. He received no orientation. The guidance department tries to do a good job, but the school is very large (2000 students) and there are only 4 or 5 counselors. I have heard that they do a good job for accomplished students, but our experience was not good. I could not recommend Spanish River.

I do not like this school at all. I feel bad that my daughter had to attend and graduate from this school. Any parent who is thinking about sending their children to Spanish River High please think again, I'm sure you would rather have your child attending a better school than this one.
