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.

I enjoyed most of my teachers with the exception of 2 teachers. The best experiences for me was the extracurriculars because they have a decent amount and I can hang out with my friends and I also enjoyed the sports. I wish they would change the bathroom policies and let people use the bathrooms between classes because its way easier than trying to get permission after the first 5 or before the last minutes of class.

Niagara Falls High School is what I can say the definition of "one of a kind." Niagara Falls High School is one of the schools you would say "I don't want to be here", but you don't see yourself attending any other school accepting the one you attend. It was at Niagara Falls High school where I met my closest friends and was given class course and program opportunities. Niagara Falls High School truly is "one of a kind."

I liked the way the teachers and other students treated the athletes. However The way the staff deal with misbehaving or rude kids needs to change, their is no respect for teachers in that building. I'd also would like to see the counseling staff help the kids that want to go to college and go far in life a lot more. The counselors bend over backwards for the kids that don't care but leave the kids that care to fend for ourselves.

I have two kids at NFHS. They have both received top AP and Regents scores, which shows me this school is as good as any other school out there. As with every other school, if the student is willing to work, the resources are there for the student to excel. I also appreciate the diversity at the sch...

Parent of student who attends nfhs now hates it bulling is tolerated teachers talk to students anyway they want because they know they will not get fired. I've never had such a horrible experience with a school before until my child went there.
