2. Palm Beach County School Regains Foothold in Top 100 High Schools (bocaratontribune.com) — Boca Raton families can celebrate that Spanish River, Boca Raton High, and West Boca Raton High all rank among Palm Beach County's top 10 public high schools in new U.S. News & World Report data. While Riviera Beach's Suncoast High rejoined the national Top 100, the rankings also spotlight how several Boca schools stack up statewide, underscoring strong local academic options.
