Throughout my 4 years in booker high school I've been treat with respect, cared for , and loved. Although not perfect I've never went to school fearing for my safety. I would like if they could have a class just to complete your college requirement as seniors because I do not have time to enjoy the resources available to me I feel like I'm running for success while failurs breathing down my neck. Overall a great school for performance arts and if you know and have the support at home it should be ok with Jehovah aid

Booker High schools is a divers school with wonderful education many opportunities for clubs and scholarships. The schools is also very safe. Would like to see more involving teachers and caring staff.

It has been a pretty good experience so far. Although the staff does a good job on helping keep us safe, I feel that they should spend more of their energy trying to help students with their studies and future than trying to control drug use. Even though drug use should not be condoned in school with all of their focus on that it takes away the attention for struggling students.

10/4/2013
I give Booker High School 4 stars because the VPA programs are amazing. For any teen that is into the arts, this is a great school for that! But the reason why it's not a 5 star, is due to the academics. The teachers I had were mediocre. They either taught with all their might, or didn't teach at al...
