Buckland Mills Elementary School

I love this school. Mrs. Balkcom, Mr. Neves, Office Staff, Teachers, Encore Teachers, Cafe staff, etc. are all wonderful. They all go out of their way to accomondate you. If the school is overcrowded as 'August 23,2011 Parent' mentioned, well that is the Boundary Committee to determine where to draw the line. The school is not at fault. My opinion is they are overcrowded but the job is still being done.

My daughter is in Kindergarten and she can already read: need I say more. I was really amazed how fast she has excelled in this school.

We LOVE Buckland Mills! Our children had been in private schools prior to Buckland Mills and I am totally impressed with the education they are receiving. From the administrators to the teachers, everyone really cares about the students and go the extra mile. They have a reading team that screens all the students throughout the year to make sure each child is making progress and to amke sure that all students needs are being met. The PTO is amazing and offers many free events to families and really do a lot for the school. It really feels like one big family. The school is overcrowded but a new school is bring built in 2 years to help with that. I just hope we get to stay at Buckland Mills. I wouldn't want my children anywhere else!

The school is well run and has an excellent PTO with parent involvement. The new principal is very warm and seems to be a great addition to the school.

I have notified GreatSchools that the enrollment number listed here is way too low. Buckland Mills has well over 1,000 students and is grossly overcrowded.

My son transferred to this school in fifth grade. All of the staff, adminstration, and teachers have all been wonderful. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, organized, and warm. I truly feel like I'm in a close-knit family! My son has really blossomed academically and truly loves his teachers and classmates. I only wish he could have been at this school sooner. I would highly recommend this school--in fact, I brag about it to everyone I know!

We relocated here 3 1/2 years ago. We currently have 2nd and 4th grade boys enrolled. We have been extremely happy with the quality of teachers, especially Mrs. Greer and Mr. Jacks. They are so involved in everything that happens at this school. We've had some issues with a bully this year that wasn't taken care of to our liking, but overall, the teaching and attention to students is excellent. We'll be moving in a couple months and hate to leave this school that has done so much for our children!

This school is awesome! Our daughter is thriving in the 2nd grade with Miss Coblentz. We transferred her out of her base school to Buckland Mills so she could take advantage of the new IB PYP that is happening . She is happy and thriving again. We love it there! Principal Greer and Assistant Prinicpal Jacks are so involved with the children. The smart board technology is amazing - Mrs. Greer connects with all of the kids via the Smart Board every AM. the technology is hands down the best as are the teachers! I would highly recommend this school and often do! I am so glad we transferred our daughter here. Keep up the great work!
