The teachers and administrators give every student in the district a different and creative path for their future. Every year there is more and more added to the school through more classes or upgrades to the building. The school is one of the best schools for college readiness. They give us students so many different AP courses that allow us to prepare ourselves for our futures. While the school is very good and effective it does have its issues. The buildings in the district are very old and even though the administration tries its best to keep the buildings updated it still falls behind and the buildings can be really cold or hot. The school is very well maintained though and it's very clean. The programs that are present in the school really make it stand out compared to schools around the area. We are one of view schools with an orchestra program and it's one of the best programs in the school. Boardman overall is a very good school that has its issues but it makes up for them.

The best parts of my experience was all of the connections and friendships I made. I went through Boardman High School through the Pandemic years so I would have to say that those were some of my worst years.

Boardman Senior High School has upheld a tradition of excellence for a very long time, however, there has been a massive amount of turnover among administrative staff in recent years. The current administration has made drastic changes to long-held policies, much to the students' and parents' dismay...

I am a graduate of this school and my classmates all agree that we received a sub-par education and treatment based upon class and status. In order to achieve anything at this school, you need to have a strong social connection and money. For example, teachers and faculty won't even bother to interv...
