Buena High School
Overcrowded! My child fell through the cracks. Gangs, drugs and some uncaring staff, though some are good. The only reason to send a child to Buena High is for the sports, theater or ROTC. Otherwise, I'd steer clear and opt for a local charter school that really focuses on academics.

This school is abselutely the worst school I've ever put my children in. Terrible staff. Inappropiate behaivor. Too many students. Too much bullying. Gangs throughout the school. One of the top 5 worst schools in Arizona state. Highest rate of the STD, Chlamydia. Football coaches apparently cannot handle money properly. It was just a terrible school. And I don't reccomend you register your children here.
