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.

I love Buena because it is a school that is very welcoming. It has a small school feel where everyone is family. Once a Chief, Forever a Chief!

BRHS was very diverse when I attended from 2012-2016. Many of the teachers are very passionate about helping students get ahead and do their best in their academic careers.

The bullying in this school is terrible. And the administration does nothing even when you provide proof of major threats also when the student attacks adult family members who worked at the school. They do not work well with iep students either.

I’d give this school a 0. I graduated from Buena and barley made it into college. I was also one of the few students in my graduating class that went to college. The whole area is depressed and I’m glad that I was able to move away and find real opportunity.

The magazine ranked the school 286th in 2008...
