My two younger children attended Buchanan. My son attended from 3rd grade on and my daughter from K-5. Both had excellent and caring teachers who had high academic standards. My children loved going to school and loved their teachers. They were well prepared for higher level learning when they promoted out of 5th grade. As a parent, I especially appreciated the sense of commutity. The principal has a strong presence aroung the playground and usually knows each student by name, even though there are over 1,000. My son struggled with some impulsive behavior on the playground and Mr. Lorimer was very helpful in working with him . Parent involvement is valued and there is a strong PTA that works hard to provide additional learning experience for the students.. The office staff is very congenial to parents and students alike. We had a great six years at Buchanan.

I saw your review and decided to make this because you wanted an updated opinion if your child is likely to run into bullies the faculty and staff dont care if your kids get bullied. My kid came home with a broken arm and I never knew why he said he got into a fight with a kid where were the staff doesnt care about your childrens safety. Stay Away

I would not expect my hamster in this school.
