The Straightforward Scoop: 37 High Schools, Ready to Rumble!
That's right, BPS boasts a cool 37 high schools, each with its own unique flavor. From the history buffs at Boston Latin School (founded in 1635, talk about old-school!) to the budding artists at Boston Arts Academy, there's a place for every aspiring teenager (except maybe Dementors, but hey, you never know).
The "It Depends" Clause: Not All High Schools Are Created Equal
Now, here's where things get interesting. BPS offers a variety of school settings, like traditional high schools, exam schools, and even innovation schools with project-based learning. So, the number of schools you might consider could be a bit smaller depending on your academic path and Hogwarts House...erm, we mean school preference.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Additionally, there are also in-district charter schools that operate under the BPS umbrella but have their own application process. So, it's kind of a choose-your-own-adventure situation!
