Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-08-27 “Best school ever recommended for students and parents to get involved in, great cross country team.” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2008-06-17 “This is a very good and safe school.The teachers here are great...although the administration is not fair and very judgmental, rude, and discriminating to both students and parents.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-05-10 “This is a very good school academically” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-15 “BPHS does it's best for all students, and if you speak a language other than English at home, this is where you want to be. BPHS pays more attention to its ELD students resulting in happier kids and higher test scores than any school in the District or adjoining neighborhoods.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-01-08 “im a current buena park high school student, I think its the worst school to get an education from. It seems like they dont actually teach in some, or should i say most classes. its partly the students fault but its also the schools for having so little space and overcrowding.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-10-08 “I am a student at this school and I think that is a great place to learn. The students may not be the best, but the teachers are great.They all want the best for all the students. Where as some of the other teachers in different schools only care about getting paid. This may be due to the fact that that most students there are already bright, so the ones who do need help are left behind. Another great thing about this school is that there are no bullies. No one gets picked on for being dumb or really smart. Nothing will happen to you if you stay in the right crowd. In my opinion BPHS is the greatest school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-08-31 “The parent involvement here is nonexistent. The vast majority of the time, I've been either the only parent at my child's activities, or one of a few parents. The majority of the teachers are mediocre at best. Until they improve drastically, parents will continue to put their children in the other, better schools in the district and can you really blame them? If you do send your children here, insist that they be in every Honors or AP class possible because that's where you'll find the better teachers and better behaved students. It's a sad, sad school in dire need of some help.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-08-30 “BPHS needs a more diverse student body.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2006-01-08 “In the past, buena park high school was a school of low test scores. This school had a bad reputation. But over the past 7 years or so, Buena Park High School has increased its reputation. For example, this school is no longer the lowest-test-score school in the district. Buena Park High School offers many challenging courses for those high prostective students as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-10-24 “This school is pretty good it has an on-campus police officer. The schools late policy is pretty good making the kids serve detention if they are late.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-09-23 “Although I believe BPHS wants to compete academically with other county HS, they may have to find a more constructive and safe method than to overcrowd their classrooms. This decreases the quality of learning and makes for safety issue. Safety is another area that may need to be addressed. Often I feel that they want praise for warehousing our children. I need educators not babysitters.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-08-12 “Buena Park High School offers students a great quality education. Their teachers are very dedicated to their job and make sure that you student will reach his/her full potential. If you look at their college accpetances over the past couple of
