Buena Park Junior High School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2008-11-06 “I was a student at BPJH from 2006-2008. Right now, I currently attend Troy with full IB and Tech with no problems and I know many people with Sunny Hills IB. The teachers at this school helped me along very smoothly, some starting very easy, and others pushing us to our limits and learning much more than I would have. I was also in PALS and ASB. I now know a lot about tolerance and different views of life. Some fail to realize that the lack of parent involvement is due to the fact that many parents are busy working. Through the people I met here, I found how lucky I was to be born to my family. I never regret attending BPJH.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2008-11-05 “Great teachers and staff. Students need to work harder.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-08-14 “BPJH is a school that babysits. The students are disrespectful and the staff does not care unless it is a good political move for them. Most workers at the school are frustrated at the lack of consistency for discipline. The attitude is why bother. Students are not held to high standards. Top problems of the school is trash on campus, fights, graffiti, and cutting in line. The PTA board for the school positions were never filled due to lack of parent involvement. Communication from the school is poor it might improve they just got teleparent. The bathrooms and lunch tables are consistently disgusting. School bathrooms are constantly being shut down due to the janitors not being able to keep up with the mess. The after school sports are not separated by gender. My child 7th grade never had opportunity to use the computers at school. Just our experience.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-06-13 “Good school if you have a A student. No real attention to most students. To large of classes! Need a summer school that all students can attend.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-05-31 “My child is leaving BPJHS and is well prepared for the rigors of Troy High School. The teachers expect the best from each student. Some teachers give their own time after school and on weekends (without receiving extra pay) to help thier students succeed. The after-school sports program has been great -- I love that even students without experience are welcomed and encouraged to take part in a variety of sports. The Associated Student Body does a great job with 'fun stuff' -- school dances and lunch time activities. The availability of breakfast at no cost is also very helpful on hectic mornings. The big downfall at this school is parent involvement. Very few parents come to meetings and there is very little communication in writing between the school and home to let parents know what is happening (or how they can help). Overall, BPJHS has been a great experience.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-04-16 “I have been extremely impressed with Buena Park Junior High School. The teachers are wonderful to work with and really care about student success. With a new gym being built, the facilities are becoming more competitive. The administration is proactive and available to students with concerns.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-02-06 “Buena Park Jr. High is a great school it does have an after school sport program and a program for people at risk of failing. I like the schools staff they are work very well at what they do.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-11-08 “Not overly impressed. Overcrowded and student to teacher ratio is shameful. This school is not ethnically diverse. Needs more parent involvement. Extracuricular activities are available. Unless you are talking about sports. They basically have no sports department. My son hates this school and i tend to agree with him.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-08-26 “This school has some excellent teachers, and the principle & vice principles are wonderful. They really seem to care about the students, it's the students that don't seem to care at all. I don't agree with the curriculum - how could my daughter get pushed into the 8th grade when she only ended up with a 1.3 gpa? That makes me question the integrity, and conscientiousness of the staff at Buena Park Junior High.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-04-17 “Buena Park Junior High School has a great Honors progra
