After attending a charter school in the West Palm Beach area for all of 9th grade I transitioned back to my homeschool (SRHS) for the rest of my high school carrer. The teachers are absolutley excelent. SRHS has a long tradition of keeping teachers for years and years. One of my favorite teachers (biology, Mr. Adams) has been at the school since it opened! SRHS has prepared me for college in ways that I cannot even imagine. All the Advance Placement classes teach exactly like they do in college and it has really prepared me.

Academic Programs are a disgrace the 'teachers' give the notes and expect the students to learn. Do not misunderstand me there are a select few who are decent teachers. What can I say the music and arts departments have much to be desired we have this theater that cost the school millions of dollars and it is almost never used. They have about 5-8 music classes if that. This school focuses too much on the seniors to even care about the underclassmen. Parents don't even get me started they ask there children how their day was and thats the end of the story. Overall terrible school in a stuck up community

The school's okay. Not that easy to get into a click if you come in after freshman year. Guidence is poor, they don't seem to try hard enough to get classes right, took a month for me to get a class i needed for my grade level credit. It's not a horrible school, but I've been to better.

Great school, high spirit level and many ways to get involved if the student has an interest to. Many levels of learning giving any student the ability to fit in and find a niche. Principal is uninvolved. Classes vary depending on teacher, but if lucky it can be a great experience! I would recommend any student to attend

My sister and I both went to Spanish River. I can confidently say, after completing an advanced college degree, that this high school thoroughly prepared me for the challenges of college and other aspects of life. Although Dr. McKee is no longer principal, many of the same teachers remain and the student environment is still positive and involved.

The school is ok if your in the top 5% or if the student is a self motivated learner. Guidance is weak.

Okay school, but the guidance conselors are poor and uninterested in any student but the top 5%. Some of the teachers are great. Not the best place considering it wins awards all the time. Makes me think they are simply better on paper than in reality. They do have potential.

Having moved down from NY, I was nervous about the schools. I was very pleased and surprised with Spanish River. THe kids are great, the teachers car and the parents are involved....

I go there, and it has the most elite and competitive student body in the boca raton area. I know students from all over, and have been to many schools.

Disappointment. Being known as one of the best schools in county, I expected more. My child is not really happy with teacher's willing to help and teach. They feel like teachers are just waiting for the day to end... My child, straight A student, does not know principal's name after two years in the school! Comparing it to other schools in the district, it is still better...

This school was a nightmare. My daughter had a hard time adjusting to the clicks and everyone trying to out do each other. They offer all of the extracurricular activites that most public high schools have yet the parent involvement was low.

My experience was so horrible at SRHS, I transfered my child out of it! When trying to do so, the staff was nothing short of uncooperative and rude! I found that from the principal, was very unconcerned when my childs grades plummited down to all F's! I have since moved my son into a private school where he is once again on an A + b level!

It has very good academic programs;academics are extremely advanced for a public school. Great clubs and sports programs. Very worthwhile for you child to get a diploma from this well acredited school.

This school provides little assistance for parents of a child who may be having a difficult time with fitting in. Peer pressure was immence going from a 'dress code' environment to 'anything goes'. Guiding my son toward a college course was what I was expecting, however I was told by the time my teen my child was heading down the wrong path, failing 3 out of 7 classes I was told it is 'only 3' and if I came in and saw them in person maybe some grades could be change! I was appalled! I would not suggest anyone to send their child to this uncaring school!

This school is extremely poor, guidance is poor. Several children within my Community have Become dropouts even while achieving A's previously, due to poor guidance and administration. I feel the teachers need to become more involved with their students. Teachers are not properly teaching lessons and many just hand out quiz's without teaching the subject matter. We moved to this district on account of spanish rivers 'A' rating. This is false, This school deserves D due to their dropout rate.

Although Spanish River High School is a well known school in the district, the children there need to be more vocal in speaking out about the poor teaching methods throughout the school. Half the teachers do not teach full lessons, and then expect us children to do well on their impossible exams...a bit ironic since we don't understand/know the full material.

Safe environment and excellent reputation but my daughter's teachers are not challenging her in honor classes. Worst of all guidance counselors make themselves unavailable. School is overrated.

Whatever age your children may be, having good-quality local schools is an important consideration when you purchase a new home. It's easy to compare a school rating to others in the region using information at Cyberhomes.com.
