Dear BCSD Families,
Academic Excellence continues to be a priority for Boone Community School District. This past year has included many celebrations in this capacity and we are excited to share with you that information in this report. Some highlights over the past year have been:
Increased graduation rate
2022 Top 50 AP Index (#35)
Increased School Performance Profile Scores at every level
We have also had numerous construction projects taking place in the district and we are excited to be approaching completion in the Fall of 2023! The projects we have taken on have included:
Upgrade HVAC in the 1986 portion of the HS. We are now completely air conditioned at the high school! (Funding source: ESSER dollars) Completed
Complete renovation of the HS gym: new gym floor, ADA compliant bleachers, removal of the bulkhead to allow for a 94 foot court, new digital scoreboards, installed windows for natural lighting, window dressings. (Funding source: SAVE dollars) Completed
Crossroads building: will house Futures and Homeschool Assistance Program, located at the old “weed patch”. Also contains a ½ gym for added activity space. (Funding source: SAVE dollars) Anticipated completion Fall 2023
Ledges Elementary: Will house students from Page and Lincoln serving grades PK-1, located on Hancock Drive. (Funding source: General Obligation bond) Anticipated completion Fall 2023
Extension of Hancock Road: will connect Hancock to Corporal Snedden Drive. Joint project between the school and the city. (SAVE dollars and $750,000 contribution from the City of Boone) Anticipated completion Fall of 2023
The District's total tax rate has not increased as a result of these projects. In fact, over the course of the past two years, our tax rate has DECREASED a total of $2.42 per thousand!
We invite every parent, student, and community member to review our annual report. We are a district that grows stronger with your involvement and we welcome you to become an active member of our school family.
