Great things happening at Mary Buren Elementary School, just check out all of the good press the past couple of years. Talk with parents, teachers, students and they will share what a fun, safe, and excellent learning environment it is for all.

My two children kids have going to this school for two years now. I can't even believe I still have them attending there. The bullying is out of control, the communication is even worse. The staff in the office are so rude. They have very low test scores. Yes I have come across good teachers there. But overall the school needs a lot of improving. My advice to any to new family look into other schools if possible. Let Mary Buren be the last resort.
