GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Buffalo Academy of Science is a wonderful high school in Western New York, filled with supportive teachers and helpful administration. It teaches its students important values and embeds in them a sense of pride when they leave.

I think most teachers really care about the kids and their education, they are fun and make connections with us allowing mutual teaching moments instead of it being just one way. I will say some areas need more structure as well as more music and arts. Also racism is very prominent in that school and no one seems to care about it.

I recommend everyone to give this school a shot because its amazing what they do for their students.

The leadership is poor and without purpose. They mislead on many topics. I am referring to the Buffalo Academy of Science Charter School 2 on 335 Doat Street, Buffao, NY 14211.
