My son attended Buckeye from Kindergarten through 3rd grade and I can say that every teacher he had was wonderful. We have recently moved away, back to where we used to live, and now we are considering moving back. I just found out my son's school doesn't have a computer lab and although there are a

I will say that the attendance rules are like in the military and a little overboard but we learned to live with it. Over all we miss this school!! Read less

We are new to Buckeye Elem. this year. My son is in the 3rd. grade, his teacher is amazing. She is everything that a 3rd. grade teacher should be.

I feel it is a great school and I am happy to have discovered it hidden here in the foothills. Read less

Our child is in the 1st grade. We had a good experience in Kindergarten, but 1st grade is absolutely outstanding. The teacher has high expectations and is able to get what she wants without a lot of pressure on the kids. She spends an inordinate amount of time reviewing homework and correcting each

My wife works in the school every Friday and other parents have a similar routine for other days. She sees what the kids do and how the teacher behaves. She says it is the best situation she has ever seen for any of our kids. The principal is very visible and positive. Academic programs such as reading are of very high level. Our 1st grader has become a self reader and loves to read. Read less
