Daniel Boone Area High School

This is STILL THE WORST HIGH SCHOOL! Yes, there is a new superintendant. However, things haven't gotten any better. The school needs to focus on academics and providing supports necessary for students to succeed. This school also sweeps racism under the rug!

i am a student at Daniel Boone High school, and I believe this schools needs much improvement. Compared to other schools in this district, our sports department is not up to par, and we dont even offer girls lacrosse, and the boys lacrosse isnt even funded by the school. This school favors to football, football, and more football. We are building a new stadium, and they had to raise the taxes just to get the money. For some reason unknown many teachers are getting laid off, and they might take away the music department in the elementary school! The one good think about this school is the teachers are friendly, and so are the students, it is a pretty safe environment for us.

I love Daniel Boone High School because the teachers are really nice, and they're more like your friends rather than authority figures.

It is my hope that the new superintendent will turn things around. There is no type of support for the children or parents. This school has been a huge disappointment. Last year a large percentage of the graduating class couldn't walk at graduation, due to the lack of attention they received to their education, they were not allowed to graduate. Many of the teachers tend to prefer to let the kids teach themselves through homework. This school definitely needs more structure.

My child got an outstanding education at Daniel Boone Area School District. While there is always room for improvement, I truly believe we made a good choice keeping her at Daniel Boone. The teachers are dedicated and the community supports its many extra curricular opportunities. Great school!

Please check out drop-out rates on Standard and Poors website for school reviews of this district in comparison to others in local area. NOTE: There will be a new district superintendent beginning 2008 fall. District profile may be subject to change. Keep watching. There lots of tax $$ coming from Amity but I'm pressed to see conditions improve fast enough here. Kids are still in 'modulars' since 04 and they DO NOT walk to them under ANY type of cover whatsoever. Parents of Middle schoolers, please be aware of this ! This really does bother me. Poles and a tarp system would be better than nothing. Particularly when my middle schooler is enjoying motion sensored water fountains and showers they are no allowed to use after gym class. HS needs parental outcry...there's lots of room for improvement here.

I am privileged to be a 2004 graduate of Daniel Boone Area High School. In college I excelled in all of my writing assignments due, in large part, to the amazing English teachers at Daniel Boone. Many of my professors were astonished to find I had graduated from a public school and not a private institution. I am graduating college with a 4.0 GPA and owe it all to this school district and its outstanding professionals.

In my opinion, I believe that Danile Boone Area High School is an excellent school. There are numerous extracurricular activities that are available for students to engage in. Moreover, the overall teacher quality is exceptional and well rounded. Lastly, there is a moderate level of parental involvement.

This school has been a disappointment. Our children need learning opportunities which encourage them to excell in the area of math. Their Math program has dramatically deteriorated while my children have attended this school. Unfortunately the PSSAT scores show this deterioritation. Schools around us are excelling while our school continues to decline. The caliber of most of his English, Math and Forgien language teachers has been shockingly poor.It has outstanding music program and very careing facality in this area. I can not recommend it in contrast to most of the other public schools in the district, considering their poor performance on the PSSAT.
