“The sense of community. Parents that attended Boone move to the same neighborhood so their children can and do attend Boone. The students have a lot of respect for teachers and parents. The school is run very well. One feels good while visiting the campus because the staff and students are working hard in a nurturing environment.”

“I am currently a junior at boone high school and so far i have loved it. In the begining i wanted to go to colonial but after a while i saw that it was a great school. The teachers are not only caring but they push you hard to do your best. I love the atmosphere of the place i mean of course every school has their bad kids but over all its a great school. Like our motto says 'Boone braves today, brave leaders tommorrow'! Go Boone braves.”

“As a senior at Boone High School, I couldn't think of a school that could provide me with as many opportunities as Boone has. The teachers are spectacular and genuinely care about each of their students. If someone is having a bad day or going through emotional struggles, any teacher will take them aside and ask if everything is OK. There are not many other schools that can combine the caring attitude with phenomenal academics and extracurricular activities for everyone. We are FOREVER BRAVE! '08!”

“I am the parent of a Boone freshman and a 2007 Boone graduate. I love the school and I love the neighborhood. The academics are demanding. My daughter and son loved going to this school. They would even go when sick. It also helps that the median income of the parents of Boone students are in the upper range of Flirida.”

“Boone high school has always been a wonderful school in all aspect. High achievments in academics, sports, extra-curriculars ect. Im a BHS Graduate Class of '07 and I must say that while the school is one of the best available in orange county (maybe even all of florida) one of the greatest things about it had always been its value on tradition. While Mr. Hattabaugh was principal tradition was a strong part of being a Brave quickly after he left all of the traditions slowly started to die.”

“Boone was a great school when Mr. Hattabaugh was principal but has been losing it's sense of family and community since he left. New principal, a Boone graduate seems more interested in getting rid of traditions than cultivating them. She also wants all the students to be the same. Dedicated teachers are bailing on this school while the mediocre ones remain.”

I'm not bullied one bit and I have much better grades here than I did at T.H.A. and the classes are so much better and more challenging. It has teachers who care and help other students. I highly recommend this school to anyone.”

“Great school but very disappointed in the fact that the Finance Magnet classes are considered an elective and do not count towards the required credits for graduation. How can that be for a progrm/class that you have to apply to get in and continue to meet all of the GPA requirements to stay in. On top of that it is a very demanding class!”

“Of the Orange County H.S's I still think Boone is one of the best. However you must stay on top of things. If you need to speak to the office, a counselor, change a class, you will need to call a few times , email a few times and even go there. They are overcrowded and have to deal with that, as best they can. Not necessarily what you would expect a reasonable time frame would be. The courses are on target and electives are numerous. But it is easy for a child to get lost in the shuffle, especially if they may need any assistance.”

“Academic programs are very strong. Some of the teachers are very helpful and willing to teach for the sheer joy of teaching and not for the money! They have a spectacular music program, plus they have a pretty good sports program. Even after expansions, though, the school is still rather overcrowded.”

The teachers, many whom attended Boone themselves, are great and care about the students. Administration does a great job keeping everyone is line without being super strict.”

“Boone high is better than the alternative on Oak Ridge. My kid has not been beaten up, and enjoys his teachers. It is a more peaceful environment in which my kid can study. His teacheres want him to learn and there is after school tutoring. Anyway,the school is crowded, but teachers are available to help after school.”

“Boone High School is too easy. I went here 2002-2003 and the classes were boring. They dont prepare you for college. Florida needs to put a more rigourous curriculm in if they want to get up in the statistics. Im from New York and they prepare you here with tough Regents Exams and 44 Credit Accumulation. Regents Diplomas look better on your application than a crummy Florida diploma.”
