A.D. Henderson University School & FAU High School

• Public School
• Boca Raton, FL
• K-12
• 55

Senior: This charter school gives students an equal opportunity to apply and offers nice financial aid services. It is centered around academics and pushes the students very hard. The school pays for the students to take a full load of college courses from 10-12 grade. If you're determined to get ahead in your career and academics, this school is perfect for you and will save you a lot of money during the process! They provide great opportunities in research and other criteria. The only downside is the limited sport options and an untraditional high school experience, including a small prom, winter formal, etc.

Palm Beach Central High School

Senior: Palm beach central was my second home. The faculty staff was always nice to be and supporting. Yet I wish they had more resources to have a broader knowledge in college information. I was part of many clubs and most of them require a lot of involveness, but it was so fun and rewarding that I enjoyed every second of it. The school is very well positioned sportwise and I am happy to say that the coaches are supportive and ready to help you. Palm Beach Central High school is a great reccomentmdation to anyone living close by!

G-STAR School of the Arts

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• 9-12
• 308

Senior: There are absolutely no words to describe the time I have spent in this amazing school with my fellow amazing students and our amazing faculty. For the past 4 years I have spent more time at G-Star than I actually have inside my own home. I wanted to go to a school that I can have the opportunity to learn about acting. I have changed tremendously throughout the process. Throughout my years here I have never been bullied or treated without care or respect. I believe the staff has made the biggest impact on my high school career. There were always teachers who would sacrifice their own time to help me. I enrolled in Acting 1-4 and discovered what I would be doing for the rest of my life. The acting program is 10 times more rigorous and intensive than most high school acting programs in the nation, we learn at a college level. I got accepted into 3 prestigious universities. I will be going to Southern Methodist University on a FULL-RIDE scholarship. Thank you, G-Star!

Santaluces Community High School

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• PK, 9-12
• 490

Senior: Santaluces Community High School is filled with diversity. While we are known as a title one school, there are many cool things this school comes up with to make it the best high school to attend. It's surrounds itself with the school mascot, the Chief. . The assistant principals and guidance counselors are very friendly and is always willing to aid students with any help they need. As recently mentioned on the schools diversity, the food is much diverse from Café Sol Del Mar to Asian X-perience.There are many types of academies that aid students for their future. There are academies such as early childhood, JROTC, arts department, and many more to be in the future. As a part of the class of 2017 and moving on to the real world, Santaluces has prepared me to graduate with 30 high school credits, 3.4 gpa, 12 college credits from dual enrollment, ap, and aice classes, and plenty more achievements. I truly recommend becoming a chief because I am proud to be one!

Royal Palm Beach High School

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• 9-12
• 433

Sophomore: Royal Palm Beach High School has pleasantly surprised me this past year against all former claims I had heard.
For example, the teachers genuinely want to see you learn in their classes and will push you to become the best you are capable of becoming.
There is a great array of clubs and sports for the students to participate in and they're all a lot of fun!
The brand new cafeteria resembles a mall food court with different restaurants with many options for lunch.
The guidance counselors are almost always available to help students with any small issues that they may have. Our principal - Mr. Armas - is also very involved with everyday student life.

Olympic Heights Community High School

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• PK, 9-12
• 321

Senior: I'm currently a high school senior at Olympic Heights, and my experience has been incredible. Our school has come a long way over the years as far as safety and performance, and I'm excited for what's to come. I have felt that the math department was lacking pretty much throughout my four years, but I do know that the school hired at least 3 new math teachers this year. Hopefully it works out and our pass rates for higher level (AP) classes go up! Otherwise, every department has at least 2 really outstanding teachers and then a few really good ones. I wouldn't trade my high school experience for any other in the area, and I think the diversity of the student body (based on interests, race, socioeconomic backgrounds) presents a far more realistic representation of what the real world will be like, especially when compared with other public schools in the area. I'm thankful to have attended a school where differences between people were not frowned upon, but valued.

Senior: William T Dwyer high school was very beneficial for me, I worked together with great people that help me understand life and success. Teachers was supportive of me alot and wanted me to do better in life because I was such a good student, but teachers, staffs, guidance counselor understood that I couldn't reach the success I wanted because my family and me are not financially stable. Dwyer Comunity High School allowed my to learn something each day and I'm proud to say that William T Dwyer was one of my favorite schools!

South Tech Academy

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• 9-12
• 464

Alum: South Tech Academy sets itself from the competition in many interesting ways. It starts earlier than most schools (7:00 am), but it ends earlier than other schools (1:00 pm), giving students more time to enjoy the day. Instead of having 7-8 courses year long, it has 4 classes for one half of the year, and another four for the rest of the year. To matters better, the classes have at most the same amount of difficulty as other schools, so students have half the amount of stress for each semester! The best part is that South Tech offers 13 vocational programs for its students, allowing students to learn not just academics, but also real-world technical job experience. In fact, students can - and often do - get an actual vocational license before graduating! If you want your child to have a low-stress academic experience while training for a rewarding career, then South Tech Academy is the school you should choose.

Lake Worth High School

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• PK, 9-12
• 501

Senior: Lake Worth High School has its challenges just like every other school. Do to recent changes with leadership the school is finally changing its ways. Pep rally’s are free to the students, students can’t just leave campus like they used to, this makes me feel safer at school. Teacher are involved with their students education and home life.

The schools academies are involved with the city (ex. marching, contest, and earning certificates). The school has added more protection to keep the students safe. Students do get alone, and since I’ve been in school I haven’t seen any bullying.

The environment is clean, classrooms are kept neat and organized. Clubs are also involved with some city activities and school events.

If you are fortunate enough to live where worthington high is your school, skip the other schools. You won't be sorry.

Boca High makes it a priority that each student plays a part in the school community and is not left alone. Administration ensures confidence in their students body, along with their faculty. I am honored to call Boca High home.

Atlantic High School

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• PK, 9-12
• 738

Senior: Atlantic has both its pros and cons like any school but there is something about Atlantic that makes me proud to be a student here. The students are accepting of others and the SGA works hard to keep everyone included. There is a sense of community and family in Atlantic that makes it sad to think it is my last year. In my experience, teachers work hard to get to know each student and make them feel comfortable cooperating in class without feeling judged or not good enough. In my opinion, the teachers go above and beyond to provide support to the students in the areas in which they need them.
On the latter side, Atlantic does not offer that many food choices to those that are vegan/ vegetarian. Often, the food also lacks flavor. Further, I suggest our school does more to gather up school spirit! Often during spirit week few people participate but if there is a certain 'hype' through decor around the school or events during lunch, students would be more eager to participate.

Senior: I went here from grades 10 and 11(im a senior right now and I love it! The teachers actually teach, all the academies are amazing(especially the band portion and they all are into it and enjoy it), and guidance is willing to help if there's ever a problem weither it's personal or not. I went to Olympic Heights my freshman year and it was absolutly horrible. None of my teachers were good at their job , the school had some white liquid that fell from the ceiling and it literally made a hole on the floor, and the band kids at olympic heights could care less about band. I felt like the only one that was into it......

Junior: From the very first day of school, I have only gained appreciation in how caring and dedicated my teachers are at Seminole Ridge Community High School (S.R.C.H.S). My teachers are well equipped to address any subject area they are teaching, allowing students to understand the concept with minimal confusion. If a student is struggling to comprehend a lesson, my teachers will allow them to come after school, providing them with extra help in a one-on-one environment. With this service in place, students receive a full understanding of subject areas. S.R.C.H.S also provides curriculum to help students prepare for required testing, such as after-school tutoring and multiple-choice booklets. S.R.C.H.S offers a wide array of different clubs and athletic activities, allowing students to explore activities and connect with others with similar interests.

Alum: Honestly, I am so glad I had the opportunity to attend PVCHS. I had such a wonderful experience. The teachers love what they do and do their best to make sure that we learn and grow as students. Super thankful for the guidance counselors; they are very hard working people! The principal is a cool person too! The staff is super helpful and friendly. When it comes to enforcing rules, they do it well. During pep rallies and spirit week PVCHS goes all out (That's a good thing). Not only does the school have variety of clubs and sports, but it has academies and different programs to enhance your education! I became such a successful student. Thank you PVCHS!
