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.

I have been at Bosse all 4 years and I liked the fact they decided to add after-school programs this year. My senior has been a little wild with our principal out of office until next year. He has done a really good job being a principal and keeping people in line, for the most part. One thing I will say I'd like to see change is the way some teachers approach fights or disruptions. Also, I would hope the food gets better for the next year's class.

Overall I didn't feel the safest in the school there were students that were letting people in and out of the school through side doors the school wasn't very secure nor consistent in discipline. Female sports were neglected, unfortunately. Academically I feel we're weren't prepared for furthering our education. Transferring to this Evansville school was very different. I was doing work that I was doing in 10th grade as a senior.

Bosse High School is very unique. It is filled with many different people and cultures. Although there is always a negative side, there is no other school I'd rather go to. I have learned so much both academically and emotionally. I have made friends who have caused me to mature and be the person I am today.

We have nothing but great things to say about Bosse. My kids went to a local private school through the 8th grade but moved to Bosse for high school. The racial and socio-economic diversity is a huge plus for us! The administrators, teachers, and staff are some of the best in the city when it comes...

BBHS is an OK school. If you are thinking of moving to Evansville, it is probably one of the better high schools in the area. The student body is one of the most diverse that you could find in Indiana. The teachers are not the greatest, but seem to care about helping their students. The only flaw, a...

I recently visited my alma mater, and am so proud that this beautiful building has been so well taken care of! In an era of moving out of old brick schools and building suburban replacements, this school still stands as regally as ever. All renovations have been done with thoughtful attention to for...
