Unfortunately sometimes reviews are given based on what people think they know about a place rather than knowing the facts. The facts are that Buckland Mills still does give students PAWS awards and stickers. Administration calls parents to celebrate these PAW awards. They have even added to the award with tokens for the book vending machine when students get 2 golden PAWS. In addition, students who get PAWS get an item from the treasure chest. There are three administrators who divide up attendance for after school events and even attend weekend events such as concerts, robotics, and other county level tournaments. You just need to go onto the school website and scroll down to see the many awards and recognitions this school has received in the last four years. To stay really informed about a school and know the facts it is best to become involved by attending PTO and school advisory council meetings. All the staff at this school work hard and want the school to be recognized for all the amazing work.

They had moldy apples that were expired like 10 days ago. The worst part my Friend ate like two of them.

The car rider line being screwed up is a metaphor for how the entire school operates. Massive lack of organization. I attended GVHS in 2021 when it was brand new and graduated in 2024. To say that GVHS let my family and I down would be an understatement. When I attended, it was overcrowded despite being a new school. Now, it is even more overcrowded. The principal is never anywhere to be seen and several admin and security guards are spread thin throughout the school. The influences throughout the school are horrible and have gotten worse. My brother ended up switching to online. There was a lack of professionalism with the teachers. They would often treat students more like friends or peers or even play favorites with certain types of students. There have been drug problems since the start that have never been officially addressed. Students get up to god knows what in the bathrooms which is honestly a shame for students who are trying to innocently go about their day yet get lumped into all this mess. The fights have always been an issue, even resulting in serious injuries or staff members getting injured. I had an IEP throughout school bc of my learning disability, and I will say that GVHS barely did anything to support me. Still a miracle how I somehow passed math because I barely ever had anyone work with me on it. The tutoring they offered after school was peer tutoring anyways. Overall, this school has never had a positive culture/environment or anything. It has been a place that continues to bring students down. The lack of disorganization is at the root of the issues.
