Van Buren high school is an amazing school that involved many people of different races, cultures and disabilities. However, staffing has been an ongoing problem in our school. We've had to switch around teachers to different classes to teach along with stack teachers with many classes so that we get the education we need.

Van Buren is a small school which creates a good environment to get to know lots of people. Everyone knew each other and was willing to help each other out. The teachers were great. They got to know the students and did their job very well.
