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.

Buckhorn school has a family atmosphere and treat all students with dignity and respect. Teachers genuinely care about all the students and will go above and beyond to help them succeed. With limited resources, the staff and teachers try to make sure that all students have what they need and more.

A very small with only about 300 kids, even though it is K-12. The smallness of the school is a good thing because everything is so tight knit. It is almost like being surrounded by family. No worries if you are going to fit in or not. Everyone gets along with each other and there really isn't any clichés. It's a safe environment for all who attend.

Between students being harped at for having an opinion about life, and the athletes getting away with murder, i'd say Buckhorn will need A LOT of work to make this school what it used to be. It's amazing the officials who are supposed to love and care for the students often are more snobby than the students themselves. Buckhorn needs very much new principals and some new teachers.
