I have had a great experience at Buffalo Grove High school and really have no complaints. The teachers are helpful and want you to do well. I am a Varsity runner and our coach is always attentive and there year round to give us training workouts. I like our block scheduling because it gives me time to go home for lunch and study hall, especially on days when I need a break or to rest before a big race.

My experience at BGHS has been great and i wouldn't wish to change it. I haven't been very involved in many school activities but the academics and everything related to the school are great. I always look forward to going to school to socialize and learn!

Buffalo Grove was a very good school, and I believe it did a good job in preparing me for my college experience. The classes were good and proved to be a good level of challenge. I would like to see better funding for the arts thought, I feel they may have been overlooked at times.
