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.

When I first started at Daniel Boone, we were online due to COVID. I didn't get to be in school full time until sophomore year. From sophomore year on I saw the good and the bad sides of Boone. The teachers at Daniel Boone want to help you get the best grades you can. They will push you to do your best, they will give you help if you need it, and they are very understanding. However, I did see the bad. I saw the vandalism in the bathroom and I think if we had teachers who were more aware, the situation wouldn't have been as bad. Also, the guidance counselors here were not a big help. I would like to see the teachers be more strict, the politics in sports die down, and the guidance counselors answering their emails more,

It is average. If you aren't an athlete you are basically a no body. However athletes are treated so differently and much better than others.

Daniel Boone High School is by far the worst school I have ever had the displeasure of attending. My family has moved all around the country and out of it because of military situations. The only thing i have to say that's good about this school is the ROTC and even that's not perfect. It's clear th...

As a former student, I can say that Daniel Boone is a poor school overall and I felt as if I spent years trying to catch up after attending this poorly run institution. Very few of the teachers actually challenge their students; mostly recycled dogma is taught. The school is run based on politics, s...
