Buchanan Elementary School

They got rid of one of the best teachers they had in a long time. My daughter enjoyed working with her special education teacher and I found out her boss was the reason. Huge mistake. Therefore, I pulled all my kids.

Unfriendly front office staff - especially for little kids. They should have the happiest and bubbliest of them all. Principal handles nothing appropriately - hard to communicate with. Too harsh of punishments for stupid things, especially at recess. No punishments or write-ups for serious things. Teachers are hit or miss. No cross guard at a major walkway. Terrible parking lot. Field trips are terrible for fourth graders - there really aren’t any.

In my experience, most of the teachers have been amazing. However, this year has been awful. This year's teacher is very clearly new and does not have control over her classroom. It has been a pretty bad experience for my child. So much so, that she now hates to go to school every day.

I sent my Dsughter here 38 yrs ago and now both of her children go there .Well one does now anyway .My Grandson has ADHD and was just diagnosed this past summer .There is no extra help at this school !There is a special someone that works with him In school and she has helped him so much . The school does not have a child’s well being at heart.He is on Medication and is doing much better ! His grades have gone way up but he was “ accused “ of doing something that He did not do! He was suspended for two days .He is 7 yrs old and he is a Gem . My Daughter and son in law were just informed today that they no longer want him there ..One day before he was to go back to school after winter break! How do you kick out a 7 yr old from a Christian school ? He loves his school and his friends .He also loves Jesus ! Don’t bring your child here if they aren’t Perfect little humans

We love Branch Line School! We have been here for 4 years now with my 2 daughters who attend. Both of my daughters have thrived in the small school environment here. Class sizes are small and it is project based which offers lots of hands on opportunities. Focus is placed on learning and meeting each child where they are. Instruction is usually done in small groups so teachers can teach to each child’s ability level. Our girls have done so well here and have made so much progress academically. The teachers and aides are very kind and actually care about the kids. Every day as we walk in, my daughters are greeted by name as the walk in the building by teachers and staff; some they have not even had for class yet. The small school environment has allowed us to make friendships and connections with other families here. My two girls actually enjoy going to school which is huge! The new building next year will be fantastic and we are excited. Highly recommend this school!
