I'm posting this because I have seen many questions about the school options for West Boynton Beach. We currently have 2 elementary schools in the area, but since there are so many kids the area was zoned out of Park Vista. The local kids I know attend Olympic Heights in Boca. The middle school is Odyssey although there is the option to attend Wellington (per my neighbor). This option may become unavailable in the near future according to some of my other neighbors.

Because of the safety issues at Odyssey, area parents have been pushing for a middle/HS. Some of you may be familiar with the editorials that have been written by the Post such as this No 'need' yet: Parents want charter schools, but taxpayers and voters wanted ag land preserved Please read the comments, they tell the real story of what is going on.

The area parents have now established a site that has the plans to the proposed school, please see Somerset Academy West Boynton and click the link for the Dec 5 school meeting.

Since then, GL has decided to donate/sell land by Boynton Beach Blvd. & Lyons Rd. for the school. The school will have preferred enrollment for kids that live within 5 mile radius (Canyons, Cobblestone Creek, Equus, Etc.) GL submitted their plans to the county on Wednesday and a public hearing will happen in July. All going well, the target date for the school is fall 2013.
