Quality Score: 5 Post Date:2009-04-26 “As a BCHS teacher, I care about the well being of my students, intellectually, mentally and physically. I can tell you with no uncertainty, the same holds true for my teacher peers. The BCHS student population is as diverse as it is intelligent and creative. They are (with few exceptions) courteous and respectful. While some students require more time and motivation than others, most are ready and willing to become participants in their own learning. The students of BCHS desire the same things from life as the rest of us: They want to be respected, valued for their talents and potential, and treated fairly. At BCHS, we challenge students to consider their (and other's) ways of thinking, to consider the way in which they value and evaluate, to ferret out and identify personal connections with the curriculum. I am proud of my students. I am proud to be BCHS teacher.” This review was posted by a teacher.

I could not be happier with this school.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 1 Post Date:2008-02-19 “Can't see any teaching being done for all the corruption and disrespect with not only each other but the teachers as well. Fighting is not only upsetting but affecting the learning atmosphere. All the daily corruptions are swept under the rug and on to the next class.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 2 Post Date:2007-03-28 “My son is a soph/jr, he doesn't have enough credits to officially be a Jr. In the 8th grade he went to Holmes Jr/Sr High School. He was on the A/B honor roll. My goal was to get him into Boone because I assumed it was a better school, in every aspect. He failed 9th grade. I also agree that there needs to be more parent involvement, but everytime I have been to the school, for any reason, I was made to feel unwelcome, like I shouldn't be there. I feel my son would have gotten a better education at Holmes. But now we're in the home stretch...our only goal now is for him to graduate.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 1 Post Date:2006-01-03 “I am also a parent of TWO seniors and one sophomore and my husband graduated there. The principle's job IS to be seen and to be accessible at all times. The goal should be education, not discipline so the comment about asst. principles is out of order. This is a school to 'get by' not one for preparation of life. Boone County needs a voucher system for private schools because my tax dollars aren't serving us well. My answer is not to go elsewhere but rather to ensure what I pay for is utilized in the best interest of educating our future leaders.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 3 Post Date:2005-12-04 “This school is what I would call an average school. I've been to schools in Vermont and Indiana, so I've seen several different systems and have been involved with more than one kind of administration. Boone's problematic administration is not rooted within it's principal so much as the lack of parent involvement. About one out of 10 student's Mum and Dad go to any sort of meeting at school. Most teacher's are not even present at parents night because they know they'll only be visited by one or two parents, if any at all. The administration has nothing to hold itself to because nobody cares enough to wonder how their kid's day went. Fights occur somewhat often, and the attidude of the students encourages it. Faculty has a policy where combatants are simply thrown out rather than councilled, and thusly the problem is 'swept under the rug' rather than fixed.” This review was posted by a student. Quality Score: 3 Post Date:2005-11-29 “While I agree with the two reviews that say you get out of school what you put in it, I agree with the students point of view more. I have no confidence in the administration at all. I've had several problems with different principals and have only see the head principal once and she only spoke about 2 words. My daughter does not complain about the other students, it's the the principals and some of the teachers (not all). Two in particular are complete idiots. They don't teach, they have no control over their classes and my daughter learned nothing. And by all means, don't call the office and speak to a principal about a problem. Nothing will be done and they will make you feel like you have no business calling. Change the administration and the school could be saved. Don't, and there's no hope.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 4 Post Date:2005-11-15 “It makes me mad to see what some people write about our school on here, as a student i am at school every day and really enjoy it as well as many other students. The sports teams are good and the principals try hard to keep us safe. I have noticed many of the students that do not enjoy themselves at school are the ones that do not care and that do not to try to get involved or make friends, if you dont even try or seem interested at all then that is no ones problem but yourself you get out of it what you put it no one can make you have fun and get involved if you wont even give it a try.” This review was posted by a student. Quality Score: 2 Post Date:2005-04-28 “I am not a parent, but a student at this school. For me, the lessons are not challenging enough and I hate that they do not grade on accuracy, but instead on whether or not you completed the work. Some of the teachers are okay, but others have no clue what they are doing. I sit in some classes for about 60 minutes not doing anything at all. I hardly ever see the principal. Problems in the school can be controlled and solved, but the administrators do not try hard enough.” This review was posted by a student. Quality Score: 1 Post Date:2005-04-06 “this school does not favor anyone except for the preps pf the school, it is so stereotypical there, not so much the students but the teachers.” This review was posted by a student. Quality Score: 1 Post Date:2005-01-31 “This has got to be the absolutely positively worst school I've ever had the misfortune of attending. Forget academics and the possibility of your children ever learning a thing here. At least learning about something you would approve of. The entire focus of this school is merely trying to maintain order. The foulest language I've ever heard in my life goes on in the classroom without a word of censure by the teacher. My counselor, (and counselor is a euphamisim in this case) was as clueless as a rock. She never looked at or cared about my transcripts. She even sent me to the wrong teacher, which I recently figured out on my own, after three weeks in the wrong class. I have another teacher who consistently shows up 20-40 minutes late for class, if at all. These people are sooo lost. Run.” This review was posted by a student.
