Current Buker parent here. When I bought my house in 2019 I could not have dreamed of a better elementary school my children were luckily mapped to. Caring principal, amazing (also caring) teachers, support staff and or para/ special ed teachers who truly love their jobs helping students. Each morni

Posted by a parent on 8/30/2018The amazing staff (teachers & staff) really care. The active involvement of the Friends of Buker community helps to bring even more great resources to bear. Our kids are challenged and having fun so we feel really lucky.
Posted by a parent on 9/16/2015If only EVERY child could experience elementary school like this, as it should be nurturing, helpful, knowing each child and challenging them to reach Their fullest potential!
Posted by a parent on 6/5/2014My daughter is so happy here. She gets the help and support she needs and feels like a valuable member of her school community. The teachers are fantastic and genuinely care for their students.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is amazing all the kids are nice and one time when I had a shadow day I was putting on my sneakers and they were leaving to go to art and I didn’t know where it was and then this boy in my class waited for me so then he could show me where to go. They have a small cafeteria but I get it there’s 1 class of every grade! It’s so nice to see that me and other kids in that school are learning about god. This school is NOT HORRIBLE.Student Review2y ago - Shore Country Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family loves Shore! Shore has been such a wonderful school for our son. Since his first year at Shore in kindergarten, he has been fortunate to have incredible teachers who know him well, challenge him to improve, and help him grow and explore new interests. Also, he's surrounded by students who are excited to learn and participate in all of the opportunities at the school, including language and arts classes, clubs and afterschool activities, and day and overnight field trips. Our family was drawn to Shore because of its excellent reputation and is thrilled with all of the ways the new Head of School, Amber, has improved the learning experience for students. Amber is an amazing educator and leader. We are excited for our son's future at Shore and grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.Parent Review1mo ago
