Las escuelas son muy buenas, la enseñanza es también de los padres y debemos dar toda responsabilidad a lo maestros y después decir que la escuela no sirve, si educamos en casa a nuestros hijos ellos serán buenos en la escuela y así se hablará bien de la escuela y yo digo esto porque tengo un sobrino que se graduó de la HPH School y hoy es un Proyecto Manager.

I hate this school so much.The teachers do not care if you get bullied.The staff says that they care abt our health but they dont.there's so much fighting in my school like every week people get into fights and sum happen every day.But there's even more fights in my grade (7) sometimes there 6th and 8th graders that fought more than 2 times or more .In this school people are OBSESSED with fighting so word spreads around fast.half of these teachers are racist to us hispanos bru.They get mad if we ask to use the bathrooms like I just want to use the bathroom what do you think I'ma do ??SUM OF THE STAFF AT THIS SCHOOL ARE OKAY.I HATE THIS SCHOOL

most of the teachers and staff here dont care about bullying until the parents gets involed then they take action and also last year a kid came in and pulled the fire alarm and we had to go to lockdown and they told every parent that there was a person with a gun but in reailty it was just a lame highschooler pulling a prank

This school is okay. I would not reccomend the bus at all! The school ends at 3:15 and my child gets home at 5:30?! This is a horrible bus service! I don't reccomend the bus service at all! I told the teacher to keep my child there as someone was on the way and they forced her to get on the bus anyway! My child my pushed down the staairs and beaten becuase she is black and adopted! One child was expelled for self-defense! But the white child she was fighting was kept in school! Don't send your kids here!

This School should not even be Recommended for any New Middle Schoolers at all. The Counselors do not help when you are in a bad situation to the point where you have to skip school because of it. The audacity of them to even scold you when you're the one who is getting harassed and threatened to be ganged on. I have fear on making friends now because of these issues. Buck Lodge Is not a safe place for students if you thought that. The Whole team lack everything, they do not care for your child's safety, they lack education, they cuss and push aside things that are important. I wish that no child goes through the same and go to a better Middle School where they actually do care for your safety and everything else. I'm extremely disappointed and I wish this School gets closed and Never opens again for all that matters. I'm a High Schooler, I had hope that this School would get better but after the years of being in it, I suppose it is not gonna get any better.

Hate this school. I recently left it because I'm going to High School, but my brother is going to this school, and I couldn't feel worse about that. This school has such rude teachers that curse and are impatient. I remember hearing my Algebra math teacher curse a few times when I was in eighth grade. My reading and science teacher too. On the other hand, 7th grade was also a nightmare. My math teacher was disrespect and rude. I really hope that this school is better for any future generations, because I wish nothing but the best for them.

This school only cares about how it looks and the education that comes with it. Im a student here and I wish I never came here I feel horrible for students that come here.We always get in trouble for stuff we didnt do,like taking in lunch,we almost never talk in lunch and only have a few times we can talk to friends.Sexism is everywhere here,like if a girl talks in lunch she when she wasent supposed to the teachers walked pass here clearly hearing them talk and one of the teachers said she was.I hope this school closes and nevers opens up again,the teachers cuss,and I saw in lunch a teacher smack a kids hand hard.I hear teachers screamimg at student everyday and its deppresing

Buck Lodge Middle School is a great school. Former President Barack Obama has visited the school in 2015. The teachers make sure the students do their work, if not, their parents would be notified if their child isn't doing their best. The teachers encourage the students to do better the next time and the teachers let the students know how important it is to be at their best at all times. My teachers always encourage me to look into great colleges, and they help me with how I can be accepted into Major Ivy League schools. I always get books to read over the summer from Buck Lodge, because they care about my well-being. The teachers there are very cheerful and they won't let you leave the school without putting a smile on your face. There is also a way to see your child's grades, through Schoolmax. All students will be given an username and login to view their grades, assignments, schedules, and attendance. The students at the school help one another out during times of need. We interact with each other with respect and kindness. I'll be going into the 8th grade in 2017-2018. I very much look forward to seeing my teachers and fellow classmates again.

This school is mediocre, the teachers put forth minimal effort in educating the students.The teachers seem to be more focused on discipline rather than education. Some of the teachers are clearly there to collect a pay check, they have poor attitudes and they're verbally abusive to their students. One of the Staff members even agreed that some of the teachers do have nasty Attitudes.
