Wonderful school, some problems but they were minimal. The environment was very relaxing and the students didn't bother anyone all that much. Some of the students were really mean but people actually stood up for you and the drama was minimal, only if you weren't looking for it. Though the restrictions on off campus lunch have become ridiculous.

Good staff, good students. I worked at Buena for 40 years. I was a teacher and for 25 years a counselor. My children also attended Buena and loved the school.

Buena is the BEST school in Ventura. I attended the school for four years, having graduated last spring. The teachers there are really helpful and knowledgeable, along with all the other staff members. Everyone working on campus gives an effort to better the campus and enrich the students education.

The education was mediocre, unless you got some of the better teachers. I found that a lot of the teachers wanted to be your friend instead of teachers. I'm glad I had a couple of teachers that were really interested in not only what they taught, but also in the progress of the students.

I attended Buena High School from 1988-1992. I found the academic selection to be varied. There was help for those who may be struggling and also classes to challenge those who wanted to learn more. Sports programs were also good.

Buena High School was a wonderful experience for my daughter! It has tremendous school spirit and the academics in the honors program equipped her well for college, she was accepted at some of the most prestigious colleges in the country. Its open atmosphere was great and the principal was willing to take time and invest in every student there.
