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.

i am currently a senior at this school and my experience from these last four years have been amazing. because of the school's small size it is easy to get to know all of your teachers and classmates and create this tight knit community. also, the teachers are super supportive and always want to help their students as best they can which is a huge quality about this school. i would definitely recommend this school to anyone i know :). go knights!

The faculty and overall school community is very welcoming and close. A majority of the teachers are very thorough and are very passionate about their subjects and seeing their students pass. I'd like if you had an improved campus and a larger variety of extra-curricular activities

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...
