Buford City Schools has one of the top Academic ratings in the state, and that is the truth! Their teachers and educators have been phenomenal, in every school in the system! However when it comes to the sports programs, if you are not the coaches pick, then you get to sit. No matter what your level of skill is or what grade you are in, if you are not favored by the coach, then you don't get to play. This is happening in more than one sport! Also, whenever any of the Faculty members disagree with how they are being instructed to run things. Or when the Leadership attempts to discipline certain teachers, with legitimate reasons, or disagrees with the Board, the Board fires them at will, and within 4 years they have had 5 High School Principals. This school system is being dictated by the Board of Education, regardless of how well their Leadership is doing and it isn't right!
I love Buford High School because not only does this school allow you to demonstrate excellence in Academics, but also Athletics, and the Arts. Buford High School has high standards and pushes their students to meet them whether it be in the classroom, on the field, or on the stage. The Buford community is welcoming and actively strives to help those around them. I love Buford High School. Go wolves!
Over my two years I have completed in Buford High School, I have not encountered a single thing I did not simply love. So far, all of my teachers have treated me with upmost respect and have been there to help me in any area that I need. Not only are the academics amazing, but I am involved in high school baseball, and the athletics department are to die for. As they say at Buford “Triple A excellence: Academics, Atheletics, And Arts”. Until I reached my freshman year, I did not understand how accurate this statement was. Overall, I have loved my experiences at Buford High school so far and can’t wait to see what the future has to offer!
