GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

West boca is a high tech school that always includes the students and teachers. I have a big respect for the school . Since it's my last year all I can say is that my time there is the best experience a person can have. I have cherished the football games, pep rally, and labs during science class. I never liked going to school in Boca Raton but when I started to attend West Boca I felt like I can fit in.
