I love this school, it’s the best school I have ever been to.
Posted by a student on 8/14/2025There 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.

Posted by a student on 9/30/2014This is my child's Freshman year and I am really impressed and happy with all aspects of this school. The VPA and AICE programs are excellent! And we loooove Principal Shelley. Keep up the good work!!!
Posted by a parent on 4/2/2014I give Booker High School 4 stars because the VPA programs are amazing. For any teen that is into the arts, this is a great school for that!

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHas one community based event a year but no real effort to collaborate with community, families or each other. Principal cares more about scores than student engagement, or well being. He’s only focused on his own bottom line but couldn’t even name more than a handful of students or be aware / involved. Teachers seem to work really hard but the extra burden increases the turnover rate at this school. Causing coworkers to constantly be strangers and that environment is evident in lack of collaboration in the community and even be harmful as students move to higher grades.Parent Review3y ago - Emma E.
