I would suggest that parents find an other school to send their children to. Please, research online and ask other parents about their experiences at Boyce Elementary to get the real story. We regret putting our trust into Boyce Elementary with our young children, it took quite a long time undo what had been done.

One of the biggest issues at this school is the racism and homophobia that many students experience. A number of privileged white students openly engage in discriminatory behavior, and too often it feels like teachers and staff members do not address these situations appropriately. While this does not apply to all staff, there is a noticeable lack of accountability in many cases.Recently, a student was recorded and mocked simply for kissing his boyfriend. The students involved faced little to no consequences for their actions. Incidents like this send the message that such behavior is tolerated.Racism is also a serious problem. Some students, particularly those associated with the “cowboy” culture at the school, act as though they own the place because they are white and straight. Unfortunately, some teachers appear to ignore this behavior rather than challenge it.It is important to acknowledge that not all teachers are like this. Many staff members genuinely support their students and work to create a welcoming environment. In particular, the English Department has often stood up for students and advocated for inclusivity. However, the school as a whole still has significant work to do in addressing racism, homophobia, and discrimination.
