I feel that Buch. Int. Is the best of all the Branson Schools. I wish the Jr. High would take something from the intermediate school and apply it better as the Jr. High unfortunately lacks a lot right now. They have new staff that overstep boundaries and are more focused on "getting kids in trouble" rather than assisting them to avoid it entirely. BUCHANAN however has a WONDERFUL principle and staff that actually helps the kids daily to make the right choices, and become better students.While the Intermediate school is family oriented, easy to talk to, and has wonderful teachers like Dr. Chambers, it just lost its very important program involving mental health and counciling for families that can't afford it. I am preparing a local bill and presentation to fight to bring it back. The schools just spent over a MILLION dollars on a sports complex that we did NOT need, and now children with low income parents will no longer be getting the help they need. We can afford it but our child was in therapy (Aspergers) and speech issues, and they cut US off. So if they cut us off, imagine how bad it is for minimum wage families. Very disappointing. I know this IS NOT THE SCHOOLS FAULT as the staff is very disappointed in this decision as well.Buchanan Intermediate is a WONDERFUL stepping stool for Jr. High. I would reccomend HOLLISTER for middle/JH however since it is a right to choose school. But go to Buchanan for those wonderful steps beforehand.

The teachers are absolutely amazing and the admin are there and willing to help in any situation!
