Buckeye High School is a good school but the teachers can be very disrespectful to students and peers and a lot of kids fall down the concrete stairs and injure themselves and others.

My experiences at Buckeye have varied from best to worst. My best experiences have always been with the teachers here. They are all so passionate about their jobs and how they can connect with the kids. The worst parts in my experiences has to be that the students here are rude and disrespectful towards teachers and other students. I would like to see a change in behavior among the students so the school can be more of a fun experience for anyone.
