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.

An amazing school! I went there and it is so much better than any school I have ever been to. The community is amazing and the kids love to make clubs! People are amazing and kind!

I went to Boynton for 8th grade and met my best friends there, that I'm still close with 5 years later. Boynton has great facilities like an auditorium, great musicals, gym, library, and computer lab with Macbooks. I think Boynton could improve its teachers though, as my classmates and I had some negative experiences with the orchestra/math teachers. However, we also had some great experiences with other teachers who were more than willing to help us and treat us as friends.

Beautiful school! I think the school is awesome but some of the students are bad and are making it worse for others and the teachers don´t do much about it.

just no. We had a Shrek shrine and they closed it. The audacity. Would not recommend it. This school, "Failed this city" in the words of Oliver Queen in The Arrow.
