3900 NW 11th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73107

This school is incredibly disorganized. I transferred my children from a different school system to Buchanan this year and I'm amazed -- not in a good way -- at the differences. The office staff and principal are both dismissive of questions, like we should already know the procedures for things like dropping off and picking up children. The teachers I asked didn't know what time school let out! A teacher tried to tell me what I could and couldn't send in a lunch for my child. Every morning this week I have witnessed the cafeteria helpers (I don't know what their official title is) yell at the students about standing in line, getting up, and putting their breakfast trash in the right place. I called to speak to the school counselor to verify the time for a meeting we set and I was treated very rudely by the office staff. I get the idea from my brief interactions with them that they're overworked, underpaid, and ready to take it out on anyone who has the misfortune to stand in front of their counter. The counselor has been pleasant and helpful, but she's only at the school once a week. It's the first week of school and I already regret moving my kids to this district.
