Parent involvement is very high at my school although the level of readiness for college from administration could be better. I feel like there is a bit of lack of communication.

It can be good in some aspects but at the same time has a lack of funding. It would be better and the students would be more motivated if we had the resources we need.

I loved the JROTC program. The instructors built confidence in me I never knew I had. I also enjoyed trying out a new sport, archery, and even became the first captain. The current principal, Michael Belk, is very interactive and friendly with his students. He has no favorites, and always goes out of his way to encourage his student body. I thoroughly enjoyed Buford High School's tight knit community within the staff and students.

I had the great opportunity to go to Buford Elementary, Buford Middle, and Buford High and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The teachers really care about their students, very supportive teachers!! Great place to go!!
