They offer before and after school tutoring. The media center is the best in the district. Call the school today for a tour.

There are two Booker High Schools - the Booker VPA and what we started calling GenPop. VPA students are sequestered in their own private curriculum and treated like royalty while mainstream students are herded like livestock through their classes, getting bullied and ignored. Parent inquiries and complaints are met with indifference. Not where I want my child to be.

We fortunately were only here for 1 year. That was enough for me. In a one-year period my youngest son had 2 teachers, and my oldest had 4. The turnaround is unacceptable and unbelievable. How can you get a good education when teachers quit or get fired durnig the school year. Biggest read flag for us, was our youngest learning how to write and then being okay with him writing a few of his letters and numbers backwards. We brought this up many times throughout the year and kept being told he will learn and write them correctly eventually. Happy to be gone and in a much better school.
