The Buckley School

We Just had a basketball game against this school, The students were very disrespectful towards the opposite team, calling the parents names, players names, making fun of them, screaming out comments and the staff sat there and did nothing. Never in my 16 years of going to games have I ever witnessed such disrespect. We have played all over, even other states and never have I ever experience such a horrible fans and staff. They have to be the most disrespectful kids around. Even worst then some of the not so wealthy schools, at least they control everyone and the way they treat their guest. With all the money they have, you would think they would teach their students respect. I guess money can't buy everything. So sad it's embarrassing.

Went here for a game for my little brother's league. Their gym is pretty nice, but small, yet clean. But geez, an outdoor lunch area with nice tables and chairs surrounded by a garden with a waterfall is a little much for high school, don'tcha think?! lol

We have been at Buckley since Kindergarten and are thrilled. The academic education is exceptional. Moreover, the exposure to the arts is unparalleled. In elementary school students have fine arts, music, dance and theater all every week. The teachers truly know and understand each child on a individual level - how to motivate them, how to engage them, and how to make them feel safe in all ways. Growing up Buckley is an amazing experience.

I am a Buckley Alum, current parent of a Buckley 7th Grader (Class of 2025), & future parent for our second child who will hopefully start Buckley in two years. I am so thrilled that my children will get the opportunity to participate in the many Middle & Upper School offerings/programs similar to those that I had during my time; the breadth & depth are so much greater now! What is equally important, is the manner in which Buckley has prepared for and implemented distance learning this year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. While we are missing all of the extracurricular activities offered, the academic education being provided in these unprecedented times has been very good. Looking forward to summer programming and an eventual return to campus.

My son and I love Buckley, if we weren't looking to relocate out of state, he would remain until 12th. Sad to leave Buckley. But i highly recommend Buckley. The administration I found to be extremely responsive and effective. And the security and safety of the children is a moot point. They invest in the safety of our children and remove possible untruths. We are going to miss Buckley and the community. My daughter went to a different private and it was awful. I wish I would have enrolled her along into Buckley. Live and learn. Thank you Buckley!!!!

My sonis 9 years old and in Ms. McKenzie and Mrs. Levitt's class. They are extremely wonderful teachers. The administration is first rate and very professional. We are so pleased and honored to be able to send our son to this outstanding school. Our son loves school and learning because of the supportive and structured environment. We feel very blessed that our son is able to attend such an excellent school. The school provides not only excellent academics, but, also great sports, arts, science, computer, and drama education. There are children from many different cultures and countries. It is fun to hear about all of the different customs that my son learns (ex: Swedish foods, Russian, etc...). His friends come from very nice, educated, humble, successful, and kind families. Security is excellent as well. The Teachers are very thorough and thoughtful.

Buckley sets the bar. Plain and simple. The staff and teachers hold my utmost regard. I'm not sure why Shanna H. is hating on Mrs. Firestone but I hope your comments keep getting deleted from Yelp. This is a public domain and you should keep your private issues...private. Mrs. Firestone is a wonderful teacher. Parents respect her at our school and I'm sure they did at her previous place of employment (St. Francis). We welcomed her with open arms and will continue to do so. Our children love her and look up to her. We love you, Mrs. Firestone! : )

In our first year, we love the new head of school, the teachers, the parent engagement is great too. We heard some unpleasant rumors about the schools history so we were worried but so far, we think they have turned this ship around!
