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.

My experience with Buffalo High School was very good and still going great .But when Covid came it threw me off track though the teachers were there to help me through every step.As I stepped up every time there was always a teacher willing to help and achieve me goals. They encourage me and help my with every complicated step I come across.even though there are days that I fell like giving up and feel like everything is going to come crashing down I have my teachers and counselor there for me. And for that I thank Buffalo high school for being there for me and helping me reach my goals in life.

I moved here, and I like it a lot better than my old school. The teachers wanna help you, and there are good programs to be a part of. The choir is amazing.

Buffalo High School is average overall. There are problems, as with any school and, seeing as I've never been to any other school, I don't have anything to compare it to. I feel the school's attention is misplaced towards the wrong sports/activities and the others are all second rate. As a whole, though, though it may have room to improve I feel like I have had a good high experience.
