Boynton Beach Community High consistently underperforms compared to the Palm Beach district and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (18%), Geometry (36%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (34%) were significantly lower than the district (58%, 51%, and 54%) and state (55%, 53%, and 53%) averages. The school has also experienced fluctuating four-year graduation rates, ranging from 80.7% in 2021-2022 to 90.0% in 2020-2021, and high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 22.4% in 2021-2022. These challenges are further compounded by the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.22% to 87.28% over the past few years.

When comparing Boynton Beach Community High to nearby schools, such as Atlantic High School, Lake Worth High School, and South Technical Academy, it becomes evident that Boynton Beach Community High consistently underperforms academically, despite spending more per student ($12,405 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools. This suggests that addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by the school's diverse student population, particularly in terms of student engagement, attendance, and academic support, could be crucial steps in enhancing the school's overall performance and outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
