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.
