The school curriculum is pretty good there is just a bunch of selective favoritism within the kids and teachers so it allows for less equal opportunities.

I have attended Buna High School all four years of my high school career. Overall, BHS is a pretty alright school. I would not say it is one of the best out there, but it is definitely up there in the ranking in my opinion. I would not say that I have had any overtly good or bad experiences at this school.
