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.
My son has been at Spanish River for a year. He is a smart kid who could probably try a little harder. However, that's on him. He comes home excited about the learning in some of his classes, does okay in a few and only had one teacher who needed to retire and did. For the most part, the teachers have been excellent. The office, attendance and guidance staff have been friendly and helpful through out the year. I think you will get out of Spanish River what you put into it, and that includes the parents. I have never had a problem reaching a teacher or office member when I needed to. For the maintstream kid, it is an excellent school.
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.
I'm very proud to be a parent of a student's in Spanish River Community High School. Teachers are good and social activities are very satisfactory.
Excellent school!! My daughter goes there and she is really prepared for the university. She's been working hard, every day. The kids learn a lot.
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.
excellent school great teachers my daugther is advance clases good staff and diverse after school activities
