Charter School of Boynton Beach

It is interesting how all the negative marks disappear from here. I worked here at one time, and a school that has "no money" for computers, a library, or textbooks is unacceptable! The bar is definitely lowered here. I have never seen such a dysfunctional administration with zero structure. The morale here is so low that whichever teachers don't get fired, end up quitting. In general, the place is amateur.

Great school for my grandchildren who are making high marks in science, mathematics, reading and writing. I wish more parents would get involved to understand that the school's Headmaster(Principal) really wants all the children to learn.

The Charter Schools of Boynton Beach is a terrific school with great faculty and staff . While they are going through growth pains they still manage to provide a nuturing atmosphere for my grandchildren who love it there. One the best charter schools around.

My child started her 6th grade year at CSBB in 2008 and I wish I had listend to Mr. Owens 4 years ago when he asked me to place my child in his school. The school is awesome! My daughter's FCAT scores have improved tremendously as well as her study habits and overall grades in school. The fact that kindergarteners are required to have a foreign language class is beyond me! And I love the fact that my African American child with Bahamian roots LOVES Japanese class! I wish that they would expand to include high school like Village Academy did. The 2010-2011 school year will be her last :( I'm not sure why the ratings are so low, I'm assuming it's based on the fact that this school was tiny when it started by my oh my how things have changed.

Id advise anyone not to go here it has no good programs for the middle school and the students are horrid and distrupt the classes, alot of fights its not an enviorment i would call to ' learn' more like a correctional center beacause most of the students are from congress(also a bad school on the other hand the only thing i like about hte school is the principal Mr. Owens he is the best principal out there is actually cares about the students, and he`s funny to!

I walk the hall ways a few days out of the week, well I'm not impress. The class rooms are very noisy I can not hear my self think. There are 2 to 3 teachers that realy care about the education, How ever some one who had a realy good education in the past can realy pick up on certain things. But on the night of celebration night Mr. Owens gave a great speach, but that was it a great speach. It was not follow thrue in regards to education. I see that teachers have no control of the student what so ever. Students have no respect. Mr. Owens did say in his speech that once in his school it would be diffrent. I have yet to see it. I'm pulling my chrildren out of there. To bad I was not able to see before the first semester. Very very disapointed!!!!!!

Charter School of Boynton Beach is an amazing school. The staff is simply wonderful. Mr. Owens, the principal knows each and every child by name, and interacts with them several times daily. The teachers are outstanding, and everyone strives to work together. They go the extra mile to get parents involved, and I think what is most important, is they truly look at each child as an individual, knowing each child's individual needs and desires, likes and dislikes. It takes very special people to achieve something like that, and that is why it is an A school. My son loves all the adults that work with him, and they always encourage him, even when he has rough days. This school is amazing, it's as simple as that.

Just not happy. School moved mid year, and the old buses they used to transport children kept breaking down overcrowded etc. Over hype of activities by administration because follow thru is just not there.

The school earned an 'A' grade and has a very nice location with a library, technology lab, and great classrroms. The faculty and adminstration are par excellence. School is involved with the YMCA so the students can take swimming safety lessons. The kids love CSBB.
