Regarding the private schools, are you looking for parochial or just straight private?

In the western end of Delray (barely north of Boca), there is Morikami Park Elementary. Excellent school but it's difficult to get into. The entire school is an IB magnet. Your best chances of getting in there would be in kindergarten and possibly first grade. After that, good luck! I tried to get my second grader in there but no dice.

If you have plenty of $$$$ you have plenty of choices:

American Heritage in Delray is around $15K to $19K/year

American Academy is $21K - $25K/year

St. Andrews in Boca is $17K - $20K/year

That's est. annual tuition depending on grade level for one student.

My daughter attended American Heritage and she loved it there. It was a stretch for us, but she just could not fit in the public High School system in s. Florida. We have sinced moved to Cary, North Carolina. What a difference in the schools, wished I had moved out of Florida sooner..the schools there are not comparable to the schools here. We wasted many years there. Definitely if you could afford it , I would send my kids to a private school there.

I know somebody that lives up there. He says the high school kids in Cary either inject heroin, think they are from the ghetto, or get bussed to the ghetto. The urbandictionary link was of the "best" school too from what I understand. That sounds really nice! And that's from the kids themselves! Good luck when they bounce your kids into another school next year too. No doubt if you were moving from, say, West Palm Beach or Pompano it would be better though.

I appreciate your response. From someone who has lived here for one year, I can tell you that Green Hope High is a great school. I am sure some kids still use drugs, but the schools in Florida do not compare to the schools here. The teachers are involved and care and most kids are respectable and polite.My son likes it here. Fortunately, we will not be affected by the Wake County school system busing because my son will be a senior and my daughter goes to college. Anything is better than WEst Palm Beach . no regrets for us. Everyone needs to make their own choices and living here definitely has its advantages. take care

S.D. SPADY IN DELRAY BEACH. THIS IS A GREAT SCHOOL BUT ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOOD. BUT I STAYED RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR KIDS. ITS GATED UP AND THEY MADE MAJOR CHANGES. THAT SCHOOL USED TO BE AN ALL BLACK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. NOW THE BLACK POPULATION IN THAT SCHOOL DROPPED TO 32% AND WHITE IS UP 46%.THINGS ARE CHANGING IN DELRAY BEACH ALOT AS YOU CAN SEE. BUT THATS A PRETTY GOOD SCHOOL. I WAS HANGING OUT WITH MY BOYS AND COUSINS AND WHEN WE WAS VIBING AT POMPEY PARK WE NOTICED HOW THEM BUSES WHERE FILLED WITH WHITE-AMERICANS. BUT ITS A GREAT SCHOOL. OH ITS NOT PRIVATE ITS A EXCELLENT MAGNET SCHOOL SO GIVE IT A TRY.
