GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Everyone is accepting at this school. No one is left out or scrutinized for their race, or sexual orientation.

We don't have security, school nurses, no health programs, and more. We do have some bullying but some people try to stop it. We some what have personal safety. I go to a really small school though with very little money/funds.

They try really hard but there are kids that just make them mad so they just stay mad and snap at anyone. some do prepare students for testing and try to help them as much as possible. Some teachers teach at their level with big words skip steps, instead of teaching at the kids level from the 7th grade to the 12th grade. Some of our teachers do know exactly what they are talking bout if you prove them wrong they will get mad. Some have very little intrest in the students. Some communicate with the older student but some also talk about those older students to the younger students. Some keep up with their grading but some just fall behide.

Amazing school for a rural area. Great teaching staff, education, and athletics. In a small community where you get the opportunity to know each family individually. I personally went K-12 at Buffalo Valley and now my kids are going there too. I would recommend to anyone!
