  1. Public education is provided and managed by The School District of Palm Beach County. Boca Raton is also home to several notable private and religious schools. Less than 50% of the children in the City of Boca Raton attend public schools, the majority attend private school or are home schooled.[citation needed]

    As of 2007, Boca Raton is served by four public high schools. Within the city's limits, Boca Raton Community High School serves the eastern part of the city. Spanish River Community High School serves the western part of the city limits and parts of unincorporated Boca Raton. Olympic Heights Community High School serves the west-central unincorporated areas. Finally, West Boca Raton Community High School serves the far-west unincorporated areas. Spanish River and Olympic Heights also serve students from Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.[22]

    The area is served by five public middle schools:

    Boca Raton Community Middle School,

    Don Estridge High Tech Middle School, a technology magnet school named for Don Estridge, the leader of a small group of engineers who developed the IBM Personal Computer in Boca Raton.[23]),

    Eagles Landing Middle School,

    Loggers Run Community Middle School, and

    Omni Middle School.[citation needed]

    The area is served by twelve public elementary schools:

    Addison Mizner Elementary (Founded in 1968. It is named after Addison Mizner, a famous architect who shaped and had enormous influence on Boca's architecture.),

    Boca Raton Elementary,

    Calusa Elementary,

    Coral Sunset Elementary,

    Del Prado Elementary,

    Hammock Pointe Elementary,

    J.C. Mitchell Elementary,

    Sandpiper Shores Elementary,

    Sunrise Park Elementary,

    Verde Elementary,

    Waters Edge Elementary, and

    Whispering Pines Elementary.[citation needed]

    There is another alternative to the Palm Beach County Public Schools in Boca Raton. The Alexander D. Henderson University School is located on the Florida Atlantic University campus. A. D. Henderson University School (ADHUS) is organized as a unique and separate school district; it is not part of the Palm Beach County School System. Henderson School is recognized as Florida Atlantic University School District #72, under the College of Education’s administrative oversight.

    University schools in Florida are authorized to provide excellent instruction for grades K-12 and University students, support University research efforts, and test educational reforms for Florida schools. ADHUS is a public school and thus does not charge tuition. It is open to children who reside in Palm Beach County or Broward County and admission is by lottery. Student characteristics of gender, race, family income and student ability are used to match the student population profile to that of the state.[24]
