West Boca Raton Community High School is a public high school in the unincorporated western suburb of Boca Raton, Florida. The school is part of the School District of Palm Beach County, Florida and serves the far western area of Boca Raton and some parts of Delray Beach, Florida. Its curriculum includes a set of magnet programs or academies available to mainly all students who qualify.
The facility was constructed on July 2004, and its first classes were held on August of that same year, running its first year without a senior class. In 2004, however, the hurricane season took a toll on the brand new high school. Its facility was used as a shelter by the public, who left thousands of dollars in internal damages to the structure.
On its first year (2004-2005) it was rated an "A" school by the State of Florida Department of Education, based on the school's FCAT scores; title that was again acquired on the 2005-2006 school year, but that year the school held its first graduation class (Class of 2006). This August of 2006, however, the principal of the school, Francis P. Giblin, received a commendation from state Governor Jeb Bush and Commissioner of Education John Winn, honoring the school as one of the top-50 high-performing high schools in the State of Florida, USA.
The school now continues as a "A" rated, 5-stars high school, educating approximately 2200 students during the 2006-2007 school year.
The schools schedule is divided into 7 periods, with 3 main types of days, 'Even Days', periods 2, 4, 5, and 6, 'Odd Days', periods 1, 3, 5, and 7, and 'Regular Days', which has all 7 periods. Lunch is during 5th period.
