Buena Vista City Public Schools serves about 900 students and consists of one high school, a middle school and two elementary schools.

All Buena Vista City Schools have been placed on lockdown after a robbery in the area, according to school officials.

BUENA VISTA, Va. – A “nasty flu season” has shut down Buena Vista City Public Schools for the rest of the week, according to superintendent John Keeler. Below is the full statement:"Dear Buena Vista City Public Schools Family,As you are aware, we are in the middle of a nasty flu season, along with stomach viruses, strep throat, and colds. The number of sick students have reached a point where I feel that we need to close school for all students on Thursday, February 6th and Friday, February 7th, 2020. This also gives our sick students and staff four days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) to hopefully recuperate from their sicknesses and return to school. I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this ordeal together and hopefully get back to school healthy again.
