We started in this school system when my student was in 1st grade. Loved the community feel, the environment and the teachers. As the school got bigger, the luster of it started to fade. It became less about the student achievement and more about the athletic achievements. Grades were posted and shared with the parents 2-3 weeks after the assignment, so if your student was struggling, it seemed too late to get help to catch up. Most teachers would not even offer extra help, just put it on the student to "work harder" - when they didn't know what they needed to work on, since grades were not posted immediately. Once we got into middle school and high school, it got much worse. When you chose to no longer participate in athletics, the students were shunned by those that were in athletics and looked down on by other students and sometimes even parents (seemed they learned that at home). In High School, while the building was beautiful, the people inside it quickly became "entitled" and treated the less than average like second-class citizens. There was so much bullying to my student - not necessarily physical, but emotional, mental, verbal - and when attempts were made to address it, the reaction was, well maybe they didn't mean it like you think. Talk about blaming the victim!!! The system got way too big, way too fast and lost the love of the community, and its people. Rich, upper class are the chosen ones and if you can't pour into the financial requirements, then you are shunned and left out. We were tuition and decided to move to the school where we are districted and accepted. Such a shame that a beautiful campus can house so much hatred and disdain for others.

I love Buford. The whole environment is comforting and warm. They really make you feel a part of the school atmosphere!

I used to go to this school, and it was such an amazing school. Now that I have moved I wish I could go back to this school. I’ve realized how such a good school it is. I loved its strict rules because that made people afraid of vaping, ect.. Also, the teachers were great, and teaching was great. There was still drama between students, but it was not as bad as my new school. I really miss this school.

We had an amazing experience even though our school year was cut short due to Covid. Everyone really cares about all the students and they are always helpful and approachable
