GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

All teachers strive to push students to their greatest abilities and doesn't give up on them easily. The school includes and lot of different after school sports and clubs to participate in, evena spirit team called the Herd where you get to use your voice. Buchanan High School always look for the best thing for their students.
