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.

Awful school. Teachers are coasting and the leadership is weak.

The amazing staff (teachers & staff) really care. The active involvement of the Friends of Buker community helps to bring even more great resources to bear. Our kids are challenged and having fun so we feel really lucky.

My daughter is so happy here. She gets the help and support she needs and feels like a valuable member of her school community. The teachers are fantastic and genuinely care for their students.
