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.

My experience at Boone has gone exceedingly well. I am thankful for all of the support that I have received from several teachers throughout the district. Many teachers are willing to help you until you understand to help you get to where you need to be. I think that the teachers have made the greatest impact on my time there because they are open minded and dedicated to their work.

I really like it here. The teachers work really hard to make sure that you are ready for college. I learning that takes place here is good and the staff is very nice. The kids were very nice to me when I first moved here. They treated me like I was of them and not new. The school lunch is my least favorite thing about Boone High. One of the things that I like most about my high school is the fact that I feel very safe all the time. From all the staff working to keep students safe to the cop that walks around the halls. Boone high makes me feel like I am home.

We chose Boone High School over Ames because of the programs available for our child. BHS has a fantastic AG program and a strong FFA. Additionally, when we toured the facility and spoke with administration, we were impressed by the multiple programs in place to reach a wide variety of interests.
