Buena High School Reviews
Rating 3.68 out of 5 321 reviews
My experience at Buena waas the most comfortable it couldve been considering what we went through as the class of 2023. We went through covid mainly and that was dealt with by very many step-by-step procedure to get everyone situated into our new form of study. It was very hard for everyone to get used to but the schools staff and administration made sure to make us all feel very supported. It was very easy for me to be able to reach. After coming back from covid schooling, Much effort was put into hosting events and activities to making the school feel like a community again considering we were out for a year. I was always able to find a place where I belonged. Not only this, but this school offers me much flexibility to be able to decide how I would like my schedule or how my schedule best works for me.
Overall it's a good school, the teachers are nice and understandable, classes feel like family towards the end of the semester every year, and overall it's a pleasant experience. There are just some parts that make it a bit tedious and dislikeable like with reports that are made not being properly taken care of.
I had a pleasant experience as a student here. No immediate stan out amazing opportunities nor any detrimental flaws to the school. Solid environment for learning. The shop classes are top-notch and I can highly recommend them for elevating a learning experience beyond what is otherwise expected from a traditional class. All allowed the students to grow and work at their own pace, granting the possibility for 1 on 1 instruction, to expand their skills beyond what is traditionally taught and
