Read what parents are saying about Buchanan Elementary SchoolI had a bad experience with this school. My son had issues with bullying and when I would address the issues with the teacher and/or principle they never felt the need to include me in how the situation would be rectified I had to call on several occasions to follow up and after so long it was almost like I was bothering them. Thanks to this school and the way they handle bullying and issues that students face my son went the entire year struggling socially. The principle does not listen to help she listen to respond and justify wrongful actions. I was counting down the days for school to end just to remove my son from this school.

Posted by a parent on 1/11/2018I am very pleased parent of Buchanan Elementary. The administrator is kind and understanding and seems to have a good repoire with her staff and the children. She knows many the children by their names and she sits with them at lunch on occassion. My daughter's teachers have been stellar in my opinion. They are knowledgable, caring, strive to make learning fun, and have accommodated each child according to their skill level to help them acheive their potential. The SAAC teachers are wonderful also. They keep the art projects fun and new and maintain an orderly yet comfortable environment for all the kids. The school takes an active approach to prevent bullying and, by observation, it seems to be working well. The school has an active PTA which stands as confirmation of how much the parents in the community care about their children and the school. Buchanan is a great school!
Posted by a parent on 11/17/2011First it is to bad that they don't have negative stars , My experience at Buchanan was just terrible! My mom was always feuding with the staff , it never felt like i could be a "normal kid " and i was never treated with respect it was the worst five years of my life! Including kindergarten!

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI did research well before I began my family, and it has been my goal that if homeschool were not an option, to school my children in a Montessori curriculum primary school. I have such great communication using the Kaymbu app with my child's teachers and school administrators. There are awesome systems in place to provide safety and health of the kids as well as academic and mental health support. I LOVE that my child's teacher meets with my husband and I throughout the year to discuss strategy for executing various objectives which are uniquely tailored to my child. I highly recommend this school, and looking forward to sending in the next kiddo in the fall!Parent Review11mo ago - Grandview Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn 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.Parent Review1y ago - St. Genevieve Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you are a minority, KEEP LOOKING. I will not flat out call it racism because there was no direct offense coming from the school, however we were ostracized and my daughter was called aggressive. They constantly pull my daughter our of class, so she's quite behind. The city of Livonia already has a reputation and the school upholds it.Parent Review1y ago - Livonia Montessori School
