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.

Small population has its pros and cons. Thank goodness they moved out of the parking lot, even though that was somewhat of a trademark of Buckingham.

There's been worse but there has definitely been better. The students here are often stressed and lack enthusiasm due to the amount of work and pressure. School seems more like a parking lot than anything. Due to this there's a lack of safety. If anything they teach us useless junk that's not ever needed. Students aren't diverse either. Some teachers are okay and cool but most have no joy to teach. Less than 500 students attend promising more attention but this instead doesn't make it seem like a school. Lack of clubs and sports and student participation. Teachers and staff here treat us more like adults instead of teenagers. Foods repulsive as well. Overall: I rate my high school experience here a 3/10. It wasn't fun or exciting; just boring and wasteful. Is it good? Hmmm no not really. Could definitely find better education else where in the area.

First year here and the jury is out! It feels like they do not like to engage with the parents. I am very involved in my kids education so this is different. Confidentiality is sub par. They don’t return calls etc. The teachers swear at the kids. The staff in the office are nice. I get no feed back...

THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR AT THIS SCHOOL. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NO LEADERSHIP, NO FOLLOW THROUGH, LITTLE TEACHER SUPPORT, PARENTS ARE WELCOME ONLY IF THEY ARE GIVING MONEY. THEIR FOCUS IS ON THEMSELVES LOOKING GOOD. MOST THE TEACHERS ARE TOO SELF INVOLVED IN THEIR OWN SUCCESS AND NOT THE KIDS. THEY SAY A...

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...
