VERY-VERY disappointed that THIS SCHOOL has gone over the 18:1 max student to teacher ratio in its classrooms. The students suffer. And taking kids into classrooms, or transfer students who are behind dramatically than the rest of the class, who put the classroom over the student:teacher ratio makes me very concerned about the education my children are missing out on. I do, however, agree with most positive remarks about the school. Small classrooms 14-17 students per teacher would make this school rated at 5 STARS.
I have been involved with this school for many years. It has ALWAYS been a joy. The teachers are above excellent. The administration is top notch. We had a job offer and turned it down in part because we wanted the girls to stay in Buckhorn. I could not imagine we would have found another school that is as dedicated to its students. Parent involvement is highly encouraged and as a result the community well supports this school. I believe my child's future has been elevated as a result of attending Buckhorn. You will not be disappointed if your children are given the opportunity to attend this fantastic school.
Amazing school from teachers to administration. Parental involvement through PTA and voluteer-ism cannot be beat! I have a 4th grader and a Kindergartener that both have excellent teachers. I cannot say enough great things about this great school!
I love Buckhorn! The guidance the teacher has provided for my son has been above and beyond what I would expected.
This school is great!! I am so happy my children are at Buckhorn. The PTA is so involved. I have never seen a school with more parent volunteers. You can tell the parents and teachers really care about the students. The principals have been great!
This school is very good teaching, my daughter was just finish kinder, she is already avobe the level of reading. I am so glad she went to there.
The school is great. I only have such a great respect for the teachers as well as the Principal. In my personal experience, when my first grader needed help in reading, the school made the necessary arrangements for my daughter to get the extra help.
My first grader is in a 'triad' classroom at Buckhorn. It operates like a 3-ring circus with 3 teachers teaching groups in an open atmosphere.
Buckhorn is a wonderful neighborhood school. The teachers are caring and dedicated. The parents are very involved and the school has a special yearly carnival that the kids really enjoy.
I love Buckhorn because it is small and the children really get individual attention. I was very excited that the school participated in Odyssey of the Mind, however the new principle does seem very supportive.
