James Buchanan Middle School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Buchanan Middle School is an educational institution located in the School District of Hillsborough County, Florida.

Buchanan Middle School opened in 1961 on West Bearss Avenue in Tampa, Florida. Buchanan's main rival school is Ben Hill Middle School, an upper-class school with low numbers of minority students. Buchanan and Ben Hill both feed into Gaither High School, which causes conflicts among freshmen.

James Buchanan Middle School was given an "A" for the 2005-2006 school year, based on drastic improvements in FCAT scores.
