It is a good school with a small town atmosphere. Smaller class sizes and some good choices in academics. It does lack support of the Arts.

My experience at Boone Grove High School has been great. Everyone is treated the same, the teachers and administrators are all great and friendly people, and there truly is no bullying or any issues within the school. I have been involved in sports and clubs all 4 years and everything about that has just been amazing. The coaches and players are all respectful, and we are all proud of our own school.

The teachers are very nice, the lunches are bad I have c lunch and they ran out of the actual lunch so they had to give us left overs and only gave us 4 chicken nuggets as high schoolers. I'm a senior currently and the first time I was talked to about colleges was freshman year and I never got talked to sophomore or junior year and have only gotten talked to once as a senior.
