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.

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.

My experience here has been great but I wish it was better and that I used all the things i could've used over my time here. But I wish these things were brought to my attention more to get me a better understatement of what they are used for.

I love my school. The teachers are extremely passionate and helpful. Mostly everyone is kind and approachable and I think that is because of the standard that is expected.

Buckingham is a good college prep school. The teachers and administration are great!! The campus was a parking lot but they are moving to a new one soon. The athletics were not the best, but performing arts and robotics excelled.

I attended this school myself and I can honestly say it's such a huge waste. First off, these "computer classes" were nothing more than the teacher who just got outta some UC just sitting back at his desk and expect everyone, including myself, to just figure out the software without any tutorial or...
