Overall Buena Regional High School was a pretty good experience in my opinion with the close nit family feel since not that many students attend the high school and how you could connect with the teachers 1 on 1 and be able to get the extra help you need and they offered many activities and sports that you could join to get involved!

Buena has helped me in ways that I could not ever explain, the teachers are almost all amazing , and very helpful to all their students.

Buena Regional High School offers a lot of clubs, average sports teams, and extracurricular activities. One point of criticism is that I wish more classes were offered, such as AP's or specialty specific classes to help students discover what they was to pursue in college.

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.
