Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews.

Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

Buckingham is an average school, but they try their best to make new students feel welcomed. The teachers are wonderful. They always put forward effort to help their students. They go above and beyond to be there for their students. They also reward students when needed.
